Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”
Ogles proposed an amendment on Thursday that says, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”
Like other U.S. presidents, Trump is barred from running for a third White House term by the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.
“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years,” Ogles said in a Thursday statement. “He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal.”
Trump floated the prospect of running for a third term in a joke to House GOP lawmakers during a meeting in Washington before the conference had internal leadership elections.
I will be surprised if they so daringly pass this. Also, he won’t live that long. Dudes a fat schiester. A real candidate would have walloped him in the election, the fact people voted for him shows more about the system than themselves, most are too stupid to ignore a kamala vs Donnie fight, should have been anyone else. Kamala already had people working 40hrs a week sleeping under bridges(not FTE, working 40hrs and not FTE), Donnie did back in 2016. No one really gives a damn until they can’t make cake cuz eggs are too expensive. Either party could have created an emergency law requiring food not be thrown out if no corp will buy it, and setup co ops to sell cheaper extra food. You all deserve this for voting for either of them.
Amendments require states to ratify, which is why we haven’t seen a new amendment in ages.
However, the fact anyone thinks this is worth anyone’s time is sad.
Yeah, sure, blame the people for the corrupt system designed by so called elites working as intended.
Just go ahead and put that back up where the sun don’t shine.
People have been doing that for months against those who said Biden (and then Harris) were poor candidates running terrible campaigns.
No way they will but clearly it’s what they want.
Ok thank you move along now.
Eh, more like you all deserve this for not exercising your 2A rights properly.
