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


I knew this was coming.. just not this quick..

1. They should call it the President Obama Act.

[A HERETIC I AM]

4. They should, because Obama should then run against him in 28....

and wipe the damned floor with him!

[onenote]

21. Nope. It would not allow Obama to run again. See post 15

2. He'll be lucky

if he lasts two years.

11. Trump is the figurehead. His billionaires and the Project 2025 leaders are running the show.

Some executive orders were certainly to appease Trump’s racism and vengefulness, but the majority were directly out of the Project 2025 manifesto. They were ready so quickly because they were written by the Heritage Foundation members months or even years ago.

3. The time

that is wasted in Congress on stupid crap like this is infuriating.

5. Since there is no age limit, Bill Clinton can run again.

[onenote]

20. Nope. See post 15

6. Pay attention to who introduced this bill (autocorrect wanted Bull, guess that works too)

Andy Ogles is a corrupt SOB under investigation by the FBI. He's doing this to win favor with his orange king.

8. Ahhh good to know... Iowa here... never heard of the guy before

what a dufus

[Docreed2003]

10. He's a rep that was able to come into office here in TN

When out GoP supermajority carved up the reliably blue Nashville district into GOP districts. The guy is so corrupt he could make George Santos blush

9. This

The proposal has zero chance of going anywhere. It's performative for Trump.

7. When is Fuckface lowering prices?

I thought that was a day one priority

[sinkingfeeling]

12. It takes a 2/3s vote in both the House and Senate and then must be ratified by the states.

[William769]

13. It will never pass.

Just a circle jerk of a bunch of dirty old white men.

[Stuckinthebush]

18. Best comment ever

Circle jerk by a bunch of dirty old white men. Exactly!

14. Hardly the first time such an amendment has been introduced

Rep. Serrano (D-NY) made a habit of introducing resolutions to repeal the 22nd amendment. He did so in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009, 2011, 2013 (I stopped checking after 2013, but it wouldn't be a surprise that he offered the same amendment every two year until he retired in 2021).

It's a dumb idea no matter who offers it.

15. Ogles amendment would NOT allow Obama or Clinton to run again.

Posters are making assumptions without reading the proposed amendment. It specifically would not allow a third term for someone who previously served two consecutive terms. It only applies to a president that served two non-consecutive term. In other words, it's tailored specifically for Trump.

The proposed amendment:"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.’’

16. The 2 term limit was the pukes answer to FDR and then

came along Ike.

[Gore1FL]

17. Dumbasses gotta dumbass. nt

[Quiet Em]

19. This would be perfect for the latest Trump BS forum

A distraction meant to rile people up that is not going anywhere.

[Vinca]

22. Good lord - the guy looks like a corpse after the undertaker's makeup job. He won't look any better in 2028.

At least it has to be a Constitutional amendment which will never pass. Not that I wouldn't like to see Obama for another 4 years.

23. Two parts

We need to dominate the Midterms.

And we need to be ready to prevent any second term by the Orange Turd. We also need to be ready for any run by his evil spawn.

It is awful what he is doing now, but we will survive long enough to fight for a real election which stomps him. And then, they better run for the hills, because we should pursue them in criminal courts. None of this "I was just doing my job" crap.

24. Doesn't that require 3/4 majority in the House and Senate to continue

And then it takes 34 states to ratify. So I think this is dead in the water.
