A Republican congressman introduced on Thursday a resolution seeking to amend the U.S. Constitution to allow President Donald Trump to run for a third term. The language would also bar other presidents who have already served two terms, Democrat Barack Obama among them.

The amendment proposed says: "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.''
