Shocking new proposal could let Trump stay in office until 2032

Lawmakers push controversial plan that could extend presidential term limits, sparking fierce debate.

A U.S. congressman has introduced a resolution to amend the Constitution, allowing a president to serve three terms instead of the current two-term limit. The proposal, which could pave the way for Donald Trump to seek a third term, has sparked debate across the political spectrum.

Republican Congressman Andy Ogles recently introduced a House Joint Resolution seeking to amend the U.S. Constitution, specifically revising the 22nd Amendment, which currently limits presidents to two terms. The proposal would allow a president to serve up to three terms but no more.

Ogles justified his resolution by arguing that Trump’s leadership is necessary to reverse what he describes as “the chaos, suffering, and economic decline” under the current administration.

“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the challenges Americans have endured over the past four years,” Ogles wrote on his website. “He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness.”

The history behind the 22nd Amendment

The 22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951 after Franklin D. Roosevelt broke precedent by serving four terms as president. Before this amendment, there was no official limit on how many times a president could be elected. However, after Roosevelt’s extended presidency, Congress moved to formalize a two-term limit to prevent any one leader from holding too much power for too long.

Since then, no U.S. president has been able to serve more than two terms, making Ogles’ resolution a significant challenge to this long-standing rule.

The roadblocks to changing the Constitution

For Ogles’ proposal to become law, it would need overwhelming support. First, both the House of Representatives and the Senate must pass it with a two-thirds majority. Then, at least 38 of the 50 U.S. states must ratify the amendment before it can take effect. Given the political divide in the country, such a change would face significant hurdles.

Public reaction and political debate

The idea of extending Trump’s eligibility for a third term has sparked heated reactions. Supporters argue that his leadership is needed for the country’s recovery, while critics see the proposal as an attempt to undermine democratic norms. Many legal experts also believe the amendment has little chance of passing, given the difficulty of changing the Constitution.

Regardless of the outcome, the resolution signals a growing movement within certain political circles to extend Trump’s influence beyond a traditional two-term presidency. Whether this proposal gains momentum or fades away remains to be seen.
