It’s not the first time in history that changing the term limit for the presidency has been introduced. But the two-term presidency has been the norm for over 75 years. Nevertheless, Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee is pushing for the change because of Trump. “[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,” Ogles told CNBC.

Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles has proposed legislation that would amend the Constitution, allowing Donald Trump to run for a third presidential term. “I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms,” Ogles said in a statement. “This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.” Ogles also argued that the administration of President Joe Biden had left America in “decay,” echoing the false narrative offered...

A Republican congressman is campaigning to change the US constitution to allow Donald Trump to run for a third presidential term. Andy Ogles, of Tennessee, a member of the conservative Tea Party Caucus, has tabled a bill which would rewrite the 22nd Amendment, which bars presidents from running for the White House more than twice. Mr Trump has in the past suggested that he deserved a third term. At a 2020 election rally, he said he should be allowed an additional four years because the Democrats “spied on my campaign”....

Republican Congressman Andy Ogles wants to amend the constitution so President Donald Trump can run for a third term in office. Ogles, a U.S. representative from Tennessee, says he introduced a House Joint Resolution this week that would allow a president to be elected no more than three terms. "I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms," Ogles said in a statement. "This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the...

Republican congressman Andy Ogles has proposed a long-shot amendment to the Constitution that would allow President Donald Trump to seek a third term. The Tennessee representative said he introduced the amendment to “ensure that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.” The 22nd Amendment of the Constitution — which was ratified in 1951 — states that presidents can only serve up to two full terms. Ogles’ proposal would “allow a President to be elected for up to but no more than three terms.” Trump has floated...

A Republican lawmaker is proposing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would enable Donald Trump to run for a third term in the White House. Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee announced on Thursday, Jan. 23, that he's introducing a House Joint Resolution to amend the U.S. Constitution and allow a president — in his case, specifically Trump — to be elected for up to three terms. The 22nd Amendment of the Constitution, which was ratified in 1951 after Franklin D. Roosevelt's record-setting tenure in office, currently states that no...

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), a steadfast ally of President Donald Trump, introduced a resolution on Thursday evening aimed at amending the U.S. Constitution to permit a president to serve three terms in office. This proposal, specifically tailored to enable former President Donald Trump to run for an additional term, seeks to adjust the current two-term limit set by the 22nd Amendment, which has been in place since its ratification in 1951. The 22nd Amendment was a response to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s four-term presidency, which ended with his death shortly after...

Republicans Are Already Looking for Ways to Hand Trump a Third Term The first effort is a troll. But others will follow. With Donald Trump limited to just four years as president, his MAGA acolytes are cooking up ways to keep him in office for at least one more term in the White House. Representative Andy Ogles formally pitched the idea in the House on Thursday, filing a joint resolution to amend the Constitution’s Twenty-Second Amendment so that the executive branch leader could serve “for up to but no more...

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., proposed a constitutional amendment this week that would pave the way for President Donald Trump to serve a third White House term. “President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years,” Ogles said in a statement on Thursday. “He 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...

About a week after Donald Trump was elected to a second term, the then-president-elect spoke at a House Republican conference meeting and made a comment that raised a few eyebrows. “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good we’ve got to figure something else out,’” Trump said, presumably as some kind of joke. He might very well have been kidding, though the Republican has made similar comments several times in recent years, and he’s not alone. Last month, Steve Bannon talked up the idea of...
