Republicans' Supreme Court bid to curb presidential term limits collapses in House Democrats' defeat
House Democrats have nuked Republicans' effort to pass a constitutional amendment capping congressional pay raises, one of President Donald Trump's biggest concerns about the future of the federal government. The measure collapsed in defeat.
Republicans failed to pass a measure aimed at alleviating one of President Donald Trump's most significant concerns about the future of the federal government, as House Democrats voted down a constitutional amendment to cap the number of Supreme Court justices. The effort, seen as an attempt to address Trump's worry that a Democratic president could expand the court, ultimately collapsed. The outcome marks a setback for Republicans seeking to ease one of Trump's most pressing fears. The vote was seen as a significant blow to the party's efforts to shape the nation's highest court.
