Congressman Proposes Constitutional Amendment to Allow Trump a Third Term

Rep. Andy Ogles introduced a resolution seeking to amend the 22nd Amendment, but the proposal faces near-impossible odds of passage.

The proposed amendment would allow a president to serve up to three terms, provided the first two were non-consecutive.
The amendment would exclude former presidents who served two consecutive terms, such as Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, from seeking a third term.
Amending the Constitution requires a two-thirds majority in both chambers of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures, making passage highly unlikely.
Critics, including some Republicans, have dismissed the proposal as a partisan gesture with no realistic chance of success.
The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, currently limits presidents to two elected terms, a response to Franklin D. Roosevelt's four-term presidency.
