A Tennessee Republican congressman has proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow former President Donald Trump to seek a third term in office, sparking debate about the state of the GOP and Trump's influence.
About a week after Donald Trump was elected to a second term, the 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.
” In other words, the Tennessean’s measure would let Trump seek a third term, while preventing Barack Obama from doing the same, reinforcing the obvious fact that this is more of a partisan stunt than a serious effort to amend the Constitution. But if Ogles’ idea is a doomed, unserious effort designed to distract from a scandal, why bother even taking note of it? For two reasons.
