Tennessee congressman pursues constitutional amendment to let Trump serve third term

[Just The News] Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is pursuing legislation to amend the Constitution so that President Donald Trump can serve a third term. "It’s a unique time in history," Ogles told Just the News.

The 22nd Amendment currently limits presidents to serving two terms, whether consecutive or not. The House of Representatives proposed the amendment in 1947, two years after Franklin D. Roosevelt died after winning four straight terms, and it was ratified in 1951.

Ogles said Trump’s loss in 2020 interrupted his ability to serve two consecutive terms, and he believes Americans would benefit during a turbulent era to have the choice of letting Trump serve eight straight years if they wanted.

"It’s a unique time in history when you have someone who was elected president, then didn’t win reelection, and then the American people said ’Oh crap, we messed up. We want President Trump,’" he told the Just The News, No Noise television show Friday night.

#1 Whenever stuff like this is mentioned on either side, they fail to ask them selves would they like the other party to be able to do that.

No, I do not.

#2 I'd have to say 'nope'.
(I suspect Trump would, too. From what he said about deciding to run again.)

#4 Nope. One more and he's done. No more of this "Marc Anthony offers me a crown on the road" crap.

#5 I'm pretty sure he'd be happy with just being added to Mount Rushmore.
