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.
Just bait to drive the left wild.
MAGA would not support this.
Be careful what you wish for, Rep. Ogles. Amend the 22A, and the country could well end up with Obama in the White House again. He’s only 63 now.
Better to work on an amendment to term-limit members of Congress. That actually might fly, but only if current members are grandfathered in.
Fun fact: The 22A grandfathered in the then current president, Harry Truman. Truman could have ran for a third term had he wished.
I love Trump, but we have to be careful here. Look what Obama’s third term was like. There are reasons (FDR). it was limited to two terms. There will, one day, be another democrat in there and I don’t want the possibility of another three term democrat president. Now if we can get rid of some of the enduring dead weight in Congress we would be making progress.
An amendment similar to the 22nd but for Congress would be more productive.
That’s why Trump picked Vance, Im sure he is done after this 4
No. Please.
If Ogles truly wants to do something, then he should pen an amendment regarding term limits for Congress and get it out to the states asap.
THAT is what we want.
This is his third term.
I doubt even Trump himself would support this.
Obama would, though.
I don’t like it, but it will be amusing to hear Congress critters p and moan - I mean those who have been there for nearly forever.
Never going to happen, but good that someone proposed it.
I don’t support this but I do like the fact it’ll make liberal heads explode and they can talk about his nonsense instead of the actual things we are doing - like securing the border, ending DEI, etc.
So it’s a useful distraction for MAGA.
Vance will be the way to continue Trump’s policies.
Yes. It is driving libs nuts. That and Musk’s are gestures are all the idiots can talk about.
I wouldn’t support it but if it could be proven conclusively that the 2020 election was indeed stolen beyond a doubt, then I’d probably consider a one time amendment that expires as soon as the term is over. However, I’d be wary of setting a precedent...
I think they are just trolling the dems..
It would never pass.
Your 2nd point contradicts your first.
Do it just to distract the loons for the next 2 years.
Yes, his 2nd term was spent on the golf course while Biden set up the perfect storm for #47 to be the most consequential Presidency in history.
I haven’t studied really studied his proposal, but my gut says no. Hell no.
The vote fraud started in Ernest with obama. They almost succeeded with Hillary but Trump was too popular.
They went all out for Biden but they may not ever be able to replicate that level because it’s clear now what they were doing.
And for Biden!
I bet they’re regretting that because it did two things: it exposed the level of fraud, and it made Trump more popular than ever.
Speaking of vote fraud, whoever helped stop vote fraud this time around deserves a medal. We don’t hear too much about that, but there are stories of truckloads of votes trying to pull up but they had lawyers immediately shutting that down in several places, and so they gave up the effort by 10:00 p.m..
