A Republican congressman has ignited controversy by proposing a constitutional amendment to allow Donald Trump to seek a third term as president. Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee argues that Trump's leadership is crucial for the nation's recovery, but his proposal has been met with widespread criticism for undermining democratic norms and potentially paving the way for an authoritarian presidency.
A Republican lawmaker has proposed a controversial constitutional amendment that would allow former President Donald Trump to seek a third term in office. Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee introduced the resolution, arguing that Trump's leadership is essential to reversing the nation's decline. Ogles stated in a press release that Trump 'has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness.
' To achieve this, he proposed amending the 22nd Amendment, which currently limits presidents to two terms.The proposed amendment would remove the two-term limit, allowing Trump to potentially serve three terms. It would read: '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.’ Ogles' proposal has sparked intense debate and criticism online. Some users question its motives and legality, accusing Ogles of treason for attempting to circumvent the Constitution. Others express concern about Trump's age if he were to serve another term, particularly given his advanced age. A significant number of users also point out the hypocrisy of the proposal, noting that many Republicans previously ridiculed concerns about term limits and presidential power during Trump's first two terms. The proposal highlights the ongoing political divisions in the United States and the enduring influence of Donald Trump on the Republican Party.
