A new bill proposed by Rep. Andy Ogles aims to amend the 22nd Amendment,
allowing Donald Trump to run for a third presidential term. Ogles argues
that Trump needs eight years to restore America to “greatness” and reverse
the country’s decline. However, the proposed amendment would also prevent
former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton from running again.
The new language would allow three presidential terms but prevent someone who has
served two consecutive terms from running again. Experts suggest the proposal has
little chance of passing, as it requires a supermajority in both houses of Congress.
Mark Shanahan, a politics expert, called it “wishful thinking,” pointing out that
while it shows Ogles’ loyalty to Trump, it faces significant constitutional and political hurdles.
