The Term Limit riots, also known as the Cataclyst riots, were a series of riots and demonstrations against growing authoritarianism in the United States that began nationwide on March 22, 2031. The protests and civil unrest began in population centers in soon-to-be Free States, namely Los Angeles and Portland, in response to the controversial United States Term Limits Act, which was passed in Congress and signed by president JD Vance the previous day. The law repealed the 22nd Amendment to the United Sates Constitution and allowed a president to serve more than two terms, sparking international criticism. While localized mainly in the United States, several protests and demonstrations appeared globally, mainly in Canada and Mexico. The Term Limit riots are generally considered to be the "straw that broke the camel's back" of the American Splinter, thus being alternatively named the Cataclyst riots.
