Trump Allies Push for Constitutional Change to Allow Third Term
Efforts to amend the 22nd Amendment gain traction at CPAC, but face significant legal and political hurdles.
- The 'Third Term Project' is advocating for a constitutional amendment to allow Donald Trump to run for a third term in 2028.
- Republican Representative Andy Ogles introduced a resolution to modify the 22nd Amendment, permitting up to three terms for a president.
- Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of a third term, sometimes jokingly, while supporters like Steve Bannon have publicly championed the concept.
- The proposal faces steep challenges, requiring a two-thirds majority in Congress and ratification by 38 states to succeed.
- Critics argue the effort undermines the Constitution, with Democrats introducing measures to reaffirm the two-term limit.
