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."

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."

Two terms.

Two terms.

If they pass an amendment for a President to have three terms, they may be opening up trouble if after Trump leaves office and his successor is a bad leader, the US will be stuck with that President for three terms too
Bad idea.

That may work, but i don't think like that. If Trump eliminates all globalism from planet earth, yeah start the discussion. Until then, nope. Make him work for it. But i don't think we will be here that long. Nor do i think Trumps wants a 3rd term. So i don't know if you guys are familiar with the magic 8 ball. But last night i asked if Trump would be able to prove fraud in the 2020 stolen election. And if so would all Biden pardon's fail. And if so would that grant Trump an extra term for having one stolen?

And it said, "Yes."

I guess that would depend on the voters. Right?

Bad idea.

But isn’t it limited to only 8-yrs in a row?

three terms in office, but no more than two consecutive four-year stints.

It’s extremely rare for a president to come back into the Oval Office after getting voted out.

Hey Congressman, here's a better idea. How about putting forth and passing a bill on term limits for both the senate and the house? That way maybe more would be inclined to do their job instead of playing partisan games.

`But that would not apply unless this next leader does not have 2 consecutive terms.

Trump's age is showing. I don't think he could do another 4 years after the 4 he already has ahead of him.

I agree. I think he can go the 4 years just fine, but it's reminding me of Reagan's second term. Another excellent President but he was slowing down a bit by the end.

YOU DON"T WANT TO GIVE ANYONE EXTRA TERMS! Welcome to Canada and almost 10 years of Trudeau! That knife cuts both ways, just think of what a third term of Obama would be like

OH WAIT

Here’s a potential nightmare. In 2028 if this constitutional amendment were approved, both Trump AND Obummer would be eligible to run
