Lawmaker unveils constitutional amendment to give Trump third term

One of President Donald Trump's top congressional allies introduced a resolution on Thursday evening to allow the commander-in-chief a third term.

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is pushing a new amendment to the Constitution that would give a president three terms in office, but no more than two consecutive four-year stints.

The amendment would say, "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."

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, prevents a person from serving as president for more than two terms.

It was passed by Congress in 1947 in response to Franklin Delano Roosevelt winning four terms in the White House. Roosevelt died the year after he was elected to his fourth term in the 1944 presidential election.

But in a statement released to media on Thursday, Ogles said Trump "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."


W I N N I N G ! ! ! Please let this happen so we can see the Epic to end all Meltdowns from every Liberal from all walks of life..............Oh and the Cast of The VIEW too. I don't think I have enough tissues to go around for the amount of salty tears that would be produced over this!! There'd be enough salty tears to put out the wildfires over this 😂

It won't happen. Trump will be 82 by the end of his second term. The best thing to happen in the next election cycle will be the right candidate steps up to carry on Trump's platform which I think will happen.

Yeah like I'd be surprised if he lives to the end of this term

Why would that surprise you when the walking corpse Biden lived to the end of "his" term?

Well said, he's already an old fart (with a shit load of energy, somehow...I can't imagine doing all of the rallies he did, even at half his age). Hopefully he inspires people to have the balls to speak the truth and not dance around woke bullshit that is polluting our country!

Excellent news. Rumors are they already have a legal avenue to keep Trump in the White House for the next 16 years.

While I don't think this will pass, even suggesting it will drive the Dems bananas, so it is a worthy exercise.

I love democracy.
