Waxman honors 22nd Amendment of US Constitution
Rep. Ben Waxman June 10, 2025 | 11:33 AM
HARRISBURG, June 9 – State Rep. Ben Waxman, D-Phila., hosted a news conference today at the state Capitol to honor the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which established that no president of the United States may serve more than two elected terms in office.
This comes after Waxman introduced H.R. 128, which would designate April 29, 2025 as 22nd Amendment Day in Pennsylvania.
“We thought it was important that we celebrate this amendment and take a moment to highlight it and that we here in Pennsylvania believe in the Constitution, and we believe in the rule of law,” Waxman said.
“Attempts to joke about a third term by any president are not just inappropriate – they’re un-American,” said Philip Hensley-Robin, guest speaker and executive director at Common Cause Pennsylvania, “They disrespect the Constitution that all Americans honor, and all officials are sworn to uphold.”
“Every elected official takes an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies – foreign and domestic – and today we’re faced with domestic threats in our nation,” said Tom Herman, guest speaker and board member at Keystone Progress.
State Reps. Nikki Rivera and Lisa Borowski also attended.
