Summary
Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee has introduced a resolution to amend the 22nd Amendment, which currently limits presidents to two terms, allowing for a possible third term for President Trump. The proposed amendment states that a president could serve three terms but prohibits anyone from serving more than two consecutive terms. Ogles believes that Trump has the potential to restore America and deserves more time in office. However, this resolution faces significant hurdles, requiring a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate, and ratification by 38 states. Other political dynamics complicate the amendment's prospects.
