Overview

• On August 12, Sen. Lindsey Graham responded to President Trump’s proposal to rename the Kennedy Center by joking “48 — whoops 47” in a social media post.
• Graham’s comment praised Trump’s idea to rebrand the cultural venue and suggested he is “all-in” on helping improve the institution under a third-term scenario.
• Earlier this year, Rep. Andy Ogles filed a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to allow Trump a third term, a move that was widely condemned as purely symbolic.
• In March, Graham kept his stance open on another Trump White House bid by telling a reporter to “ask me in ’27” about a potential third term.
• Any attempt to extend a president’s tenure beyond two terms would require amending the 22nd Amendment with two-thirds congressional approval and ratification by three-quarters of the states.
