A US lawmaker, Andy Ogles has introduced a bill seeking to allow President Donald Trump to run for a third term.
The Republican House member initiated the resolution which is contrary to the constitution on Thursday, 23 January.
Ogles in his statement to revise this said, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times. He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness. He must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal.”
“We must provide Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration.”
“He is dedicated to restoring the republic and saving our country, and we, as legislators and as states, must do everything in our power to support him.”
“I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms.”
The president has previously dismissed ideas that he would seek a third term. After winning 2024 presidential election, he however hinted that he would be open to a third term during a chat with Republican lawmakers.
