Rep Ogles Aims to Amend 22nd Amendment for Trump

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) has introduced a resolution to amend the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to allow President Donald Trump to seek a third term. This proposed amendment would permit a president to serve three terms but only two consecutively, effectively allowing Trump, who served two non-consecutive terms, to run again. Ogles claims Trump's leadership is essential to reversing the decline of the nation and correcting the current administration's course. However, the amendment is unlikely to pass as it requires a two-thirds majority in both chambers of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states. Critics see the proposal as a reflection of Trump's strong support within the GOP, despite its slim chances of being enacted. The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, currently prohibits any president from serving more than two terms.
