Rep. Ogles Proposes Amending the 22nd Amendment to Allow Trump to Serve a Third Term
Official U.S. House News Release ^ | January 23, 2025 | Congressman Andy Ogles

Posted on 01/24/2025 9:07:43 PM PST by The Spirit Of Allegiance

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution to amend the Constitution of the United States to allow a President to be elected for up to but no more than three terms. The language of the proposed amendment reads as follows:

‘‘No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.’’

"President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years. He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal. To that end, I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms. This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs," said Congressman Ogles.

“It is imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration. President Trump has shown time and time again that his loyalty lies with the American people and our great nation above all else. He is dedicated to restoring the republic and saving our country, and we, as legislators and as states, must do everything in our power to support him.”

"In just a few short days, President Trump has already taken action to undo the catastrophic policies of the Biden Administration and put the United States back on the path to strength and prosperity. He has tackled the crisis at our Southern border by declaring a national emergency, deploying additional troops and resources to curb illegal crossings, and expediting the completion of the border wall. In a similar vein, he issued an order to end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal aliens. Placing American safety as his top priority, President Trump designated Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, empowering law enforcement to dismantle these violent networks with greater force. Aside from the border, he has set American energy free by declaring a national emergency to lift the Biden Administration’s oil and gas drilling restrictions. President Trump has also broken the chains of DEI by eliminating federal programs and reaffirming legally that there are only two genders, male and female. He has also initiated the process to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, a decision I am personally very excited about following the Biden Administration’s disastrous COVID pandemic response,” said Congressman Ogles.

“Compared to the prosperity and protection offered under President Trump, the Biden Administration has subjected Americans to relentless abuses that will take a decade to correct. Small towns and major cities alike have been overrun by millions of illegal immigrants trafficked across the border, fueling a surge in drug overdoses and violent crime. Soaring gas and groceries costs have crushed countless families' financial security. Radical LGBTQ+ agendas have infiltrated schools and workplaces, while DEI mandates have destroyed small businesses, wasted taxpayer dollars, and corrupted hiring practices. Social media platforms were coerced into censoring free speech and suppressing vital medical information. Meanwhile, servicemembers have been stripped of their pay and rank for refusing a hastily-approved experimental vaccine. The list of this administration’s failures is as long as it is egregious," said Congressman Ogles.

As written it would continue to prevent Øbama’s Third Term.

His Fourth Term was given a late term abortion. LOL.

Wonderful thought. Why not? It looks like Trump is trying like hell to save the free world.

I was not being sarcastic in the least. The idea is flattering, but President Trump will be too old to campaign and serve a third term. I love him to pieces, but let’s get through the first week.

He stepped down honorably at the end of his previous term, didn’t he?

Vance will be just as great in many ways in four years. I think that’s why DJT chose him. Vance’s wife Usha is absolutely brilliant and accomplished.. Actually clerked for John Roberts of the Supreme Court who swore in Trump and Vance.

Vance is a quick learner/, in four years he’ll be as Trumpish as Trump.

They can have all the canards they want - they mean NOTHING. POTUS DJT is a proven leader and a damn good study who will get fixed what POTATUS’s handlers spent four years destroying. Let it be done!

For me, I LOVE the idea. Trump is the closest thing I’ll ever see to the good Philosopher King ideal and if we could get 4 more years of progress, I’d have a more confident belief that this republic can actually be saved from future changes as radical as Trump’s are today, but in the backwards direction.

Great idea. How to pass it with pos senators like Mitch, that skank Collins and Mookowski though? It occurred to me today how there’s never been a potus who can match 47 unless you go back 100 years. They were all mostly globalists by comparison. And he’s much more relatable.

Won’t work.

President Teddy Roosevelt Already tried it. They buckled down back then, only two terms as president.

“Stupid idea and waste of time.”

Totally agree! This is just going to give the Rats propaganda ammunition. “See he wants to be a dictator!” “He’s just like Putin!”
