Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”
Ogles proposed an amendment on Thursday that says, “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.”
Like other U.S. presidents, Trump is barred from running for a third White House term by the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.
“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years,” Ogles said in a Thursday statement. “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.”
Trump floated the prospect of running for a third term in a joke to House GOP lawmakers during a meeting in Washington before the conference had internal leadership elections.
Look at the collapse of communism in Russia, the USSR and Warsaw Pact. They had nukes too, their leadership was arguably as brutal and inhumane as that in the US now, and much more deeply entrenched. Yet they were overthrown.
People power is a thing. Don’t pretend it’s impossible, that’s just the learned helplessness message they keep pounding into your head.
One thing that would be an appallingly bad idea would be to ally with either Russia or China in attacking the US. If they were to win, it’d be even worse. The leadership of both those countries makes the American psychopathic kakistrocrats look positively benign.
I agree with you, that’s why in my first comment I’m suggesting a general strike which is power of the people. The comment I replied to was saying that other countries would end fascism in America through war. I highlighted why that wouldn’t work.
