GOP Resolution Would Allow Trump A Third Term

NBC News reports:

A Republican House member introduced a resolution Thursday to amend the U.S. Constitution in order to allow President Donald Trump — and any other future president — to be elected to a third term in the White House.

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,” said Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee, who proposed extending the current maximum of two elected terms.

Over the course of his political career, Trump has repeatedly hinted at his willingness to serve more than two terms in office. Speaking to members of the National Rifle Association in May, Trump said, ″I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term or two-term? Are we three-term or two-term if we win?″⁣
