Judicial nominee draws criticism after dodging a basic question on the 22nd Amendment

President Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Texas, John George Edward Marck, sparked outrage after refusing to answer Senator Chris Coons' (D-DE) question about the 22nd Amendment.

The 22nd Amendment explicitly prohibits any person in the United States from being elected president more than twice.

When asked directly if Trump is eligible to run for a third term, Marck claimed he needed to "review the facts" before making a determination on an unambiguous constitutional matter.
