A GOP congressman has proposed amending the US Constitution to allow President Donald Trump to run for a third term. The suggested amendment, put forth by Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee, aims to modify the existing term limits for the President.
The proposed amendment states, ‘‘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.’’ Ogles believes that this change would allow President Trump to provide the leadership he deems necessary for the nation.
