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 to prevent the consolidation of power in the executive branch, a concern that arose after Franklin D. Roosevelt's four-term presidency. The resolution highlights the importance of presidential term limits in maintaining a balanced and accountable government, ensuring fair competition, and facilitating the peaceful transfer of power. It emphasizes the bipartisan support for the amendment and the historical precedent that underscores the necessity of such safeguards against excessive executive authority.

In light of recent political discussions that suggest 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 it. The resolution asserts that any changes to the amendment should only occur with broad national consensus and clear justification. By reaffirming its commitment to the principles of democratic governance and the rule of law, New Jersey positions itself as a defender of constitutional protections that prevent the concentration of power in a single individual, thereby safeguarding the integrity of American democracy.
