GOP Congressman Proposes Amendment to Allow Trump Third Term

The proposed constitutional amendment would permit a president to serve a third term if their prior terms were non-consecutive, but faces significant legal and political hurdles.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) introduced a resolution to amend the 22nd Amendment, allowing a president to serve a third term if the terms were not consecutive.
The amendment would require a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states.
President Trump has joked repeatedly about serving a third term and publicly asked House Speaker Mike Johnson if he was allowed to run again.
Critics warn Trump’s comments may test public and political reactions, though Republicans largely dismiss them as humor.
No constitutional amendment has been ratified since 1992, and the GOP does not currently hold the necessary majorities to advance the resolution.
