Republican introduces measure to allow Trump a third term — but not Obama

Salon  

Rep. Andy Ogles, R.-Tenn., is the latest House Republican to make a splashy grab for President Donald Trump’s attention, introducing a proposal to amend the Constitution and allow the 78-year-old to try for a third term. In a statement, Ogles claimed Trump “must be given the time necessary” to enact his legislation and praised the president as the “only figure in modern history” who could properly lead the country. “This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs,” Ogles said. Related Trump teases NRA convention attendees with the idea of a third term The amendment is also carefully crafted to leave Trump open for a third term while excluding Barack Obama, mandating no eligibility for a third term if a president was “elected to two consecutive terms.” Back in November, Trump told House GOP representatives that he wouldn’t be running again “unless you do something,” a cue Ogles seemingly took literally despite reported laughter from his colleagues.
