When you forgot to study for the "Can the President be King?" test

Описание: In a tense moment during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) questioned John George Edward Marck, President Trump’s nominee for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. When asked to explain the 22nd Amendment, Marck appeared to hesitate, claiming his career in criminal prosecution left him little opportunity to "use that one specifically".

The exchange grew more pointed when Coons asked directly if President Trump is eligible to run for a third term in 2028. Marck declined to give a definitive answer, labeling it a "hypothetical" and stating he would need to "review the wording" of the amendment. Coons eventually had to clarify the constitutional law himself: the 22nd Amendment strictly limits any individual to being elected president no more than twice.
