A member of the Republican House presented a resolution Thursday to change US Constitution In order to allow the president Donald Trump – And every other future president – be elected to a third term in the White House.
Trump has “proven that the only person in modern history is capable of turning the decay of our nation and bringing back America to size, and he has to give him time to achieve this goal,” said MP Andy Ogles, a tennessian representative who presented the resolution .
“It is imperative to provide President Trump all the necessary resources to correct the catastrophic course that set Biden’s administration,” Ogles said in a statement.
“He is dedicated to the reconstruction of the Republic and the rescue of our country, and we, as legislators and as a state, must do everything in our power to support him,” said the Ogles, a stubborn conservative who serves his second term in the House of Representatives.
“I suggest an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed on 22. Amendment to presidential mandates,” he added.
The Ogles move followed three days after Trump passed the oath for another, ignorant term-becoming only another US president to whom it succeeded.
And the solution comes after two months Tail. Dan GoldmanThe New York Democrat, presented the resolution of the House of Representatives, which “reiterates that the twenty-second amendment is applied to a total of two terms of the President of the United States” and that the amendment refers to the 78-year-old Trump.
The White House spokesman did not immediately respond to the request for a resolution comment.
22. The amendment of the Constitution partially says: “No one can be elected to the president more than twice.”
Dogles’ resolution seeks to change this so that it reads: “No one should be elected to the post of president more than three times …”
The original amendment also states that “no person who has served as president or served as president for more than two years since the other person was elected president, may not be elected as president more than once.”
In his statement on Thursday, Dogles said that the resolution he represents “will allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can hold a courageous guidance that is so desperate to our nation.”
Proposed in 1947 and ratified in 1951, 22. Amendment was created to prevent the repeat of unprecedented election by President Franklin Roosevelt for four terms.
To date, Roosevelt is the only president who has ever been elected for more than two seats. He died in 1945, less than 90 days after his fourth inauguration.
Trump is open to that
During his political career, Trump has repeatedly hinted at his willingness to serve more than two seats.
“I doubt I will no longer run unless you say ‘he is so good that we have to come up with something else'” Trump supposedly thinking Republicans in the House of Representatives during a private meeting in November, shortly after defeating Democratic former Vice -President Kamal Harris.
Speaking to members of the National Pushkar Association in May, Trump said: ” I don’t know, will we consider us with three or two seats? Are we three or two terms if we win? ”
Trump’s willingness for the third term is no surprise for some people who know him.
Former Fox News journalist Geraldo Rivera, who has been friends with Trump in New York for decades, predicted in December that Trump and his allies would soon pay attention to the 22nd Amendment.
“For the future reference: President Trump & Co. will soon begin to chat about the recall/change of 22 Amendments, which limits the presidents to two four -year mandates,” Rivera wrote on X.
Other ways to stay in power
The change of the Constitution is not the only way Trump could remain in power after his current term is over.
“Although 22. Amendment forbids Trump to be elected president again, he does not forbid him to serve as president after January 20, 2029,” he wrote Filip KlinknerGovernment Professor at the Hamilton College, in a recent article in Conversation.
“The reason for this is that 22. Amendment only forbids someone to be ‘elected’ more than twice,” the clinker wrote. “There is nothing to say that someone is becoming a president otherwise except to be elected to duty.”
The clinker wrote that one hypothetical scenario would be to run for Vice President in 2028, and that the Vice President JD Vance is running at the top of the list, for the president.
“If he is elected, Vance could then resign, making Trump again the president,” the clinker wrote. “But Vance would not even have to resign to the Vice President Trump to perform the presidential power.
The 25. amendment The Constitution states that if the president states that ‘he is unable to perform the powers and duties of the Office … and the authority and duties will perform the vice president as the acting president.’ “
Another scenario that the clinker imagined was to encourage Trump a family member to run for the White House and win. After being elected, they will serve as more than the presidential figure, while Trump made key decisions.
