While President Trump Flirts With the Idea of a Third Term, California Assemblymember Dawn Addis "Protect Our Democracy Act" Passes Committee, Strengthening Constitutional Safeguards Against 3rd Terms

"I'm proud that AB 1539 just passed out of its first committee with bi-partisan support. My bill sends a clear message: California protects our elections," said Addis. "While the President postures for a third term – including selling "Rewrite the Rules" merchandise and refusing to say he will refrain from a third-term attempt, it is more urgent than ever that California act. AB 1539 is a clear, straightforward way to protect our democracy and make clear that we will not tolerate any erosion of the Constitution."
