“It is imperative that we provide president trump with every research negassary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden Administration,” Ogles said in a statement.

“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,” SAIDLES, “SAIDLES, A Hardline CONSERVATIVES SERVING Term in the house.

“I am proposing an amendment to the constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd amendment on Presidential Terms,” ​​He Added.

Ogles’ Move Came Three Days After Trump Was Sworn In For A Second, Non -Consecuve Term-BComing only the second us presiding to account to account.

And the resolution comes two months after Rep. Dan GoldmanA new york democrat, introduced a house resolution which the twenty-second amendment applies to two terms in the agregate as presiding states, “And the Amendment Applies to the D Trump.

A White House Spokesperson Did Not Immedited Reply to a request for comment on the resolution.

The 22nd amendment of the Constitution States in Part, “No Person Shall Be Elected to the Office of the President More than Twice.”

Ogles’ resolution seeks to revise this to read, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times …”

The original amendment also states that, “No Person who has been the office of president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some is the person who is the president share Siddent More than Once. “

In his statement on, ogles said the resolution he was introducing “would allow president trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the boldership our investment so desperately.”

Proposed in 1947 and ratified in 1951, the 22nd amendment was authorized to prevent a reepeat of president Franklin Roosevelt’s unprecedenDened Election to Four Terms in Office.

To this day, roosevelt is the only president ever to have ben electriced to more than two terms. He Died in 1945, Less than 90 days after his fourth inauition.

Over the course of his political career, trump has reepeatedly hinted at his willingness to serve more than two terms in office.

“I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you say, ‘He’s so good we’ve got to Figure somenting else out,” TRUMP Reportedly mased To house republicans during a private meeting in November, shortly after he defeated Democratic Former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speaking to Members of the National Rifle Association in May, TRUMP SAID, “I don’t know, are we going to be consides three-term or two-term? Are we three-term or two-term if we win? ”

Trump’s openness to a third term does not come as a surprise to some people who know he.

The Former Fox News Journalist Geraeldo Rivera, who was friendly with trump for decades in new york, predicted in December that trump and his allies would soon target their attation to the 22nd amndmen.

“For Future Reference: President Trump & Co. Will Soon Start Chattering About Revoking/Amening The 22D Amendment, Which Limits Presidents to two four years terms,” ​​Rivera Wrote on X.

Ameding the constitution is not the only way that Trump could stay in power after his current term ends.

“Thought the 22nd Amendment Prohibits Trump from Being Elected President Again, it does not prohibit heM from from from serving as president beyond jan. 20, 2029,” Wrote Philip klinknerA professor of government at hamilton college, in a recent article in The conversation,

“The reason for this is that the 22nd amendment only prohibits someone from being ‘Elected’ more than Twice,” Klinker Wrote. “It says noting about someone batcoming president in some other way.

Klinker Wrote that One Hypothetical Scenario would be for trump to run for Vice President in 2028, and have Vice President JD Vance Run at the Ticket, For President.

“If Elected, Vance Could then Resign, Making Trump President Again,” Klinker Wrote. “But Vance would not even have to resign in order for a Vice President trump to exercise the power of the presidency.

The 25th amendment to the constitution states that if a president declares that ‘he is unable to disaster to discharge the powers and duties of the office… Such power and duties shall be disqualged by the Vice President as action as action. ,

Another Scenario klinker imagined is for trump to encourage a family member to run for, and win, the white house. Once Elected, they would serve as little more than a figurehead president, while trump made the key decisions.
