Pelosi and Warren Condemn President Trump's Pursuit of Unconstitutional Third Term

Washington, D.C. – In a bold challenge to President Donald Trump's recent assertions about seeking a third term, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and Senator Elizabeth Warren have voiced strong opposition, accusing the President of undermining the Constitution and neglecting the needs of American families.


President Trump, who was inaugurated for a second, non-consecutive term on January 20, 2025, has sparked controversy by suggesting he may pursue a third term, despite the 22nd Amendment's clear two-term limit. 

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) responded emphatically, stating;



"The president is not a king. The Constitution could not be clearer: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. Donald Trump would rather fantasize about a fictional third term than do anything to lower costs for working families."


Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi echoed these sentiments, criticizing the administration's economic policies: 



"Donald Trump and Republicans said they’d lower costs—then moved to slash Medicaid, sabotage Social Security, and give tax breaks to billionaires. Rising prices are crushing Americans, and Republicans couldn’t care less. It’s not just bad policy—it’s a betrayal of working families."


These statements come amid escalating debates over the President's intentions. Reports indicate that Trump has expressed serious interest in exploring avenues to extend his presidency beyond the constitutionally mandated two terms. 


Legal experts have weighed in on the controversy, emphasizing the constitutional barriers to a third term. The 22nd Amendment explicitly restricts individuals from being elected to the presidency more than twice, making any attempt to secure a third term a significant constitutional challenge. 


As the nation grapples with economic challenges, including rising prices and debates over social safety nets, the focus on potential constitutional overreach has intensified. Democratic leaders like Pelosi and Warren are urging the administration to prioritize policies that address the immediate needs of working families over pursuits that could undermine democratic institutions.


The unfolding discourse sets the stage for a contentious political climate as both parties prepare for the upcoming electoral cycles, with the balance between constitutional adherence and policy priorities at the forefront of national debate.

“WALUKE THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PONTIFICATE ON CORRUPTION” – GOVERNOR LUSAKA TEARS INTO SIRISIA MP

By EoK Editorial : Image//Gov. Lusaka ft. MP. Waluke  Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has fired back at Sirisia MP John Waluke over his recent claims of corruption in Bungoma County, dismissing them as "r eckless, laughable, and devoid of truth." In response to Waluke’s remarks that Bungoma lacks development and that the county’s garbage collection tender is unnecessary, Lusaka questioned whether the MP was speaking out of “ sheer ignorance ” or deliberately ignoring progress. "It is either that he is blind to reality or simply lacks the capacity to grasp basic civic operations," ~the Governor remarked, pointing to Bungoma’s strides in infrastructure, healthcare, and economic empowerment. Lusaka, however, reserved his harshest words for Waluke’s credibility on corruption, reminding Kenyans of the MP’s infamous past. "If there is anyone least qualified to pontificate about corruption, it is Waluke. This is a man who defrauded Kenyans of maize meant to feed starv...

As the 2027 elections draw closer, political temperatures in Bungoma County are rising. Among those championing the return of former Governor Wycliffe Wafula Wangamati is a vocal supporter, Brendah Okumu, who ails from Maraka Ward of Webuye East Constituency. Brendah strongly believes that Wangamati remains the best choice for Bungoma’s leadership. In a passionate statement, Brendah argued that Bungoma County has stagnated since Wangamati left office, with key projects either stalling or being abandoned altogether. She describes Wangamati as a leader with a vision for the county’s development, contrasting his tenure with the current leadership, which she claims has failed to sustain the momentum. Wangamati’s Legacy, A Record of Development During his tenure as Bungoma’s second governor from 2017 to 2022, Governor Wangamati initiated sever...

Natembeya Under Fire as Senate Probes Ksh9.4M Kitale Hospital Fund Misuse

By EoK Editorial: Governor George Natembeya before the Senate Committee  Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya is facing intense Senate scrutiny following revelations by the Auditor General that Kitale Referral Hospital’s financial records are in disarray, with Ksh9.4 million withdrawn illegally to fund the county’s participation in the 2023 Devolution Conference. The Senate County Public Investment and Special Funds Committee, led by Senator Godfrey Osotsi (Vihiga), termed the financial mismanagement a blatant violation of public finance laws. The Auditor General’s disclaimer on the 2023/2024 financial statements pointed to missing financial records from previous years, making an accurate audit impossible. “Governor, public funds must be properly accounted for. The Auditor General couldn’t even form an opinion on these statements. This isn’t just an anomaly, it’s a direct indictment of your administration’s financial incompetence,” Senator Osotsi declared during the Senate grillin...
