Katie Miller's Fox News Appearance Ignites Constitutional Controversy
In a recent segment on Sean Hannity's Fox News show, Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, made headlines by casually dismissing a key tenet of the U.S. Constitution. During her appearance on Thursday, Miller enthusiastically advocated for a 2028 presidential rematch between former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris, seemingly unaware of the legal constraints imposed by the 22nd Amendment.
Miller's Call for a Trump-Harris Rematch
"I'm here to beg Kamala Harris to please run again in 2028," Miller declared, referring to Harris's loss to Trump in the 2024 election. She added, "There's nothing I'd love to see more than the President Trump-Kamala Harris rematch of 2028. I know all of your viewers are equally as excited as me to see that." However, this proposal overlooks a fundamental legal barrier: the 22nd Amendment explicitly prohibits a president from serving more than two terms, making a third Trump candidacy unconstitutional.
Miller's comments were prompted by Hannity's invitation to critique Harris's relaunch of her social media accounts, now rebranded as "Headquarters." This new platform, described as a "Gen-Z led progressive content hub," aims to provide updates and feature discussions with leaders. In a pinned tweet on X, Harris explained that the accounts will serve as a place "where you can go online to get basically the latest of what's going on, and also to meet and revisit with some of our great courageous leaders."
Mockery of Harris's Social Media Rebrand
Miller did not hold back in her criticism of Harris's initiative. She pointed out that the account handle briefly included "67," a reference to a viral Gen Alpha joke, before settling on "@headquarters68_" due to platform owner Elon Musk's restrictions. "You saw that her headquarters account also had 67 on it, which is another meaningless statement, which is the parallel to Kamala Harris," Miller told Hannity, implying a lack of substance in Harris's efforts.
Further escalating her critique, Miller lambasted Harris's explanatory video, calling it "funnier than any 'SNL' sketch I've seen in the last 10 years." This remark doubled down on her longstanding disdain for "Saturday Night Live," which has frequently targeted the Trump administration with satire. Earlier in the week, Miller had expressed outrage over a sketch mocking Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, declaring "ICE are heroes" in response.
Constitutional Oversight and Media Reaction
Miller's suggestion that Trump should run again in 2028, despite the 22nd Amendment, highlights a broader pattern of casual disregard for constitutional norms in some political circles. Her appearance ended with a plea to Hannity: "But again, I would love for her to run in '28. Sean, please?" Hannity, without challenging the constitutional issue, humorously offered to "give her a call and see if she will take my call. I will do my level best."
This incident underscores the ongoing tensions in American politics, where partisan rhetoric often clashes with legal realities. Miller's comments have sparked debate online, with critics pointing out the irony of a former White House staffer overlooking such a basic constitutional provision. As discussions around term limits and political rebranding continue, this episode serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to the foundational laws that govern the nation.
