A Congressman wants to amend the US Constitution so Trump specifically could serve a third term, but not Obama – 13 scholarly rebuttals

You have to hand it to Trump’s supporters; they don’t hang around when it comes to backing their man.

Mere days into the new administration, Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles has proposed a constitutional amendment to allow Donald Trump to serve a third term as president.

.

Of course, the devil is in the detail: the proposed amendment to allow a third term would only apply to presidents who haven’t served consecutive terms. So ones who served two terms back-to-back – like, say, I don’t know, Barack Obama – wouldn’t be eligible to run a third time.

Last November, Trump joked (as much as this man ever jokes) to Republicans about how he wouldn’t be running again – “unless you do something”.

Meanwhile, Andy Ogles has some form when it comes to seeking special powers for Trump.

Now, Ogles’ amendment is sure to go nowhere, because there’s such a high bar for a constitutional amendment to pass.

Still, people have been hopping on Ogles’ proposed amendment and tearing him a new one.
