Constitutional amendment to allow Trump third term introduced in the House
A Republican House member introduced a resolution Thursday to amend the U.S. Constitution in order to allow President Donald Trump — and any other future president — to be elected to a third term in the White House.
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," said Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee, who proposed extending the current maximum of two elected terms.
"It is imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration," Ogles said in a statement.
"He is dedicated to restoring the republic and saving our country, and we, as legislators and as states, must do everything in our power to support him," said Ogles, a hardline conservative who is serving his second term in the House.
"I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms," he added.
