Rep. Andy Ogles Proposes 22nd Amendment Change for Trump's Third Term in 2028

Jan 24, 2025, 12:26 AM

Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN) has introduced a resolution to amend the U.S. Constitution, specifically targeting the 22nd Amendment to allow President Donald Trump to seek a third term in office. The proposed amendment would permit a president to be elected for up to three terms, but no more than two consecutive terms. This change would enable Trump, who has served two non-consecutive terms, to run for office again in 2028. Ogles argues that Trump's leadership is essential for reversing the nation's decline and restoring America's greatness. The resolution requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate, followed by ratification by at least 38 states, a process that faces significant political hurdles given the current composition of Congress.
