It appears that the United States, as we know it, may undergo a significant transformation under the leadership of businessman-turned-president Donald Trump.
Wasting no time, Trump swiftly acted on several of his pre-election campaign promises, including withdrawing from the World Health Organization and renaming the Gulf of Mexico, among others. He accomplished this through a series of executive orders.
During his inauguration speech, Trump declared, “The golden age of America begins right now,” referring to himself as a “peacemaker and a unifier.”
However, some believe that the sweeping changes he has championed would require more than a single four-year term to fully implement.
In response, Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow a president to serve up to three terms, but no more.
“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years. He 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,” Ogles stated on his website.
He further explained, “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.”
Currently, the 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951 following Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unprecedented four-term presidency, limits any president to a maximum of two terms. Roosevelt remains the only U.S. president to have served more than two terms.
Ogles also emphasized that it is “imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden Administration.”
For the proposed amendment to take effect, it must pass both the House of Representatives and the Senate with at least a two-thirds majority vote. Additionally, at least 38 of the 50 U.S. states must ratify the amendment before it can be signed into law.
