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.’’
