A House Republican has introduced a joint resolution in Congress
designed to allow President Donald Trump "to serve a third term," while including a caveat that would prevent Barack Obama from running again
for the White House.
The proposal was introduced on Thursday by Representative Andy Ogles
from Tennessee, who said: "This amendment would allow President Trump to
serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our
nation so desperately needs." The 22nd Amendment imposed a two-term
limit per person on the presidency.
Ogles' resolution would alter the Constitution's 22nd Amendment to read:
"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."
Axios Congress reporter Andrew Solender noted this would allow Trump to
run for a third term, but not Obama, George W. Bush or Bill Clinton, all
of whom have already been "elected to two consecutive terms."
