A Republican House member reportedly introduced a resolution to amend the US Constitution to allow President Donald Trump — and any other future president — to serve a third term in the White House. Currently, the 22nd Amendment in the the US Constitution bars anyone from being elected to more than two terms.
Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution to amend the Constitution of the US to allow a President to be elected for up to but no more than three terms. He introduced the resolution days after Trump was sworn in for a second non-consecutive term in the White House.
Ogles said in a press release that Trump “has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal.”
"To that end, I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms. This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs," said Congressman Ogles.
Ogles, the Tennessee lawmaker who introduced the resolution, said in a statement, “It is imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration,” Ogles said in a statement.

As per the release, the language of the proposed amendment reads as follows: ‘‘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.’’
