No. Two terms and out. Unless you want a Dem president for 12 years too.
Plus Trump will be 82 at the end of this term.
Most misery is caused by Republican efforts:
Amendment XIV
Earl Warren
teacher tenure
I hate this nonsense. I Truly do.... I hate it when either side does this.
It has ZERO chance of passing or being ratified, let alone doing so before Trump’s term is up.
We have real importing crap to deal with trying to recover from 4 years of destruction... and this nobody congressman out of TN just wants to get some attention and media time with this nonsense.
Somebody slap this person silly and tell him to get to doing the real work he’s payed nearly 200k a year to do.
lets all be real for a moment. First of all, this will never have the votes to pass an amendment to the constitution. Second of all Trump .. lets be honest... is a massive heart attack just waiting to happen. I will be amazed if he makes it through his entire term honestly.
He is the type that will be working hard ... and then just fall over.
Non-starter of course but it will be mildly entertaining to watch the exploding heads at some of the lefty sites.
I don’t think so.
President Trump should announce his opposition to this bill. He’ll be 82 at the end of his term, his work will be done, then he can pass the torch to JD Vance.

The democrats did this all the time. So many outlandish proposals we couldn’t keep track of them. and a few they actually got done. The purpose of this is a shiny thing to distract the democrats, to get all of us thinking about our history and why we do things.
“WASHINGTON — Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., plans to file a resolution in the House on Thursday that would express support for the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution, which sets the term limits for the president.”
here the rats were so worried that they proposed a resolution, they didn’t trust the constitution. I am pretty sure when zero was president it was proposed.
Trump is having fun with the democrats.
read the article closely from cnbc. They are all flustered. Trump is good at what he does.
Im not for this at all! Had this been the law all along, we’d have a third term of Clinton and possibly a third Obama. No thanks!
No and waste of time...
No.
Once President Trump has done all he can, and I support him getting his promised agenda done in 4 years or set in proper motion, the Republic should be returned to We the People’s hands by that time. It is then up to us, to diligently work to keep it. We all must become Legacy-makers.
Virtue signaling feel good non sense will go nowhere. Work harder, no one cares.
I know...it’s just trolling them. Like Trump talking about making Canada the 51st state.
"Constitutional amendment to allow Trump third term introduced in the House"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
If very corrupt, Constitution-ignoring state and federal lawmakers that misguided voters keep reelecting started to respect their constitutionally limited powers, then Trump could be enjoying retirement on the golf courses.
Until that happens, PDJT47's mission is to get rid of the deep state, ideally making like without a deep state permanent by repealing the 16th (16A; direct taxes) and 17th Amendments (17A; popular voting for federal senators).
The fat lady sings.
But until 16&17A are gone, political party abuse of 16A, which is also weakening our 4th Amendment protections imo, will continue to be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime imo.
If Trump doesn't lead the states to get rid of these misguided amendments, then it wouldn't be surprising to see Kamala Harris in the Oval Office in a generation imo.
"16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Illegals are indeed getting immediate Social Security, contrary to Democrat claims (7.11.24)
Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
I hope it goes down in flames. This is wrong.
“The amendment would never get the necessary votes in the Senate or House, or be ratified by three-quarters of the states in time for the 2028 election.”
Back in ‘88, I remember getting fundraising appeals by a GOP group that wanted to change the amendment so Reagan could run for a third term. IIRC, this was not sanctioned by Reagan or his staff - but was an effort by some DC political activists to raise money and their profiles.
I knew it wasn’t gonna work and that it’d be a waste to send a donation - so those mailings got placed in the circular file.
Ogles should wait until it’s proven that President Trump won in 2020 by a landslide. Then introduce this bill.
If two terms doesn’t kill him, a third would.
