From Fox News: One of President Donald Trump’s top congressional allies introduced a resolution on Thursday evening to allow the commander-in-chief a third term.
Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is pushing a new amendment to the Constitution that would give a president three terms in office, but no more than two consecutive four-year stints.
The amendment would say, “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.”
The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, prevents a person from serving as president for more than two terms.
Ogles announced his proposal on social media, and the post has already gotten over 23 million views and 17,000 comments in just 24 hours.

Many Trump supporters are pushing back against the proposal, warning that this is definitely not a good idea.
Attorney Jenna Ellis wrote, “No. Constitutional amendments are for enduring principles and process. Not for a singular moment or because you want attention from the current leader.”

Two terms are enough for any President. While I love President Trump, I strongly feel that the two-term limit is essential to preserving the balance of power.”

Another X user warned, “All this does is fuel the fire of the Democrats and their “Trump’s a dictator” talk. We wouldn’t like a 3rd Obama term. Trump will be 82 at the end of this term. Vance will be ready. No thanks. Trump should come out against this.”

“Just stop. This is why people think MAGA is radical,” another person argued.

“Please don’t, it may sound like a great idea when it’s a person you support, but it will also apply when it’s a person you don’t support. Two terms is enough. Could you imagine for a moment, 12 years of someone like Biden?” another X user warned.

Please stop saying that you want the Constitution amended so Trump can serve a third term. It makes us look as retarded as the Democrats…🙄

Instead of this you should be fighting for term limits on congress.

Please abandon this sinking ship of an idea post haste.
We are looking to shorten terms. Trump will legitimately be too old to lead in four years.
We have a very deep bench of successors.
Please stop this effort.— Jackie Ritacco (@jaritacco) January 24, 2025
