Billionaire and former Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg is reassuring the American public that he will not seek to abolish presidential term limits if elected president. Per Politico, during a wide-ranging interview with MSNBC, Bloomberg — who infamously extended term limits, serving three terms as New York City mayor — said that changing the United States Constitution is not on his mind.
“I will not try to change the Constitution, that’s correct,” he said, after espousing “a bit of revisionist history,” as Politico put it, and suggesting that he did not have much to do with New York City Council’s decision to extend mayoral term limits when he was in office. “Keep in mind it was my City Council that did it. I just signed the bill,” he said.
