The resolution affirms New Jersey's commitment to the 22nd Amendment of the United States Constitution, which limits the President to two elected terms. Ratified in 1951, the amendment was established in response to concerns over the four-term presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt and serves as a safeguard against the concentration of executive power. The resolution highlights the importance of presidential term limits in maintaining a balanced and accountable government, emphasizing that such limits have historically enjoyed bipartisan support and have been crucial in ensuring democratic governance and the rule of law.

In light of recent political discussions that raise concerns about potential efforts to challenge or undermine the 22nd Amendment, the New Jersey General Assembly expresses its strong opposition to any attempts to repeal or modify this constitutional provision. The resolution underscores the necessity of broad national consensus and clear justification for any changes to presidential term limits, reaffirming New Jersey's dedication to protecting democratic principles and preventing excessive executive control. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the President of the United States and each member of Congress representing New Jersey.
