Good or bad news? Is America ready to rewrite history? GOP pushes to let Trump stay in power longer, and the stakes couldn’t be higher
The idea of a Trump third term may have been a pipe dream before. But, it’s no longer just a fantasy. Republican Representative Andy Ogles from Tennessee is going all-in, and he’s introduced a resolution that would amend the U.S. Constitution to allow Donald Trump — yes, the Donald — to run for a third term.
The move is shaking up Washington and reigniting a firestorm of debate about the 22nd Amendment, which currently only allows presidents to serve two terms.
That’s right. You read it correctly. A third term.
After the chaos of the last few years, after all the legal battles, after everything, Ogles is pushing to let Trump back into the White House again. This proposed amendment would scrap the 22nd Amendment, which was put in place after Franklin D. Roosevelt served an unprecedented four terms in office. And now, just like that, Trump could have another shot at the Oval Office — whether you like it or not.
Ogles, a staunch Trump supporter, is making his case loud and clear. He believes Trump’s leadership was nothing short of groundbreaking, and frankly, he thinks the country’s better off with him in charge. According to Ogles, the proposal is about giving America another chance with a leader who already knows the game, has done it once, and is ready to do it again.
But here’s the thing — this isn’t some fast-track ticket to the White House for Trump. The resolution needs a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate, plus the approval of 38 states before it can become reality. And even though Ogles is pushing hard, there’s no guarantee this will actually get through. It’s a steep hill to climb, and it’s no surprise that the idea is causing shockwaves in Washington.
The reaction from Democrats? They’re not holding back. They’re digging their heels in, with Representative Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) slamming the door on the idea of Trump running again in 2028. Goldman’s resolution, which was introduced in late 2024, makes it clear that the 22nd Amendment still stands. No exceptions for Trump. In his words, “The law is the law,” and the notion of Trump somehow escaping this restriction is “absurd”.
Let’s be real here — The idea of Trump running for a third term might sound insane, but it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility. In fact, it’s something Trump himself has hinted at in recent months. He’s told his followers that he would only seek a third term if the Republican Party gets its act together. No official declaration yet, but his comments about if things fall into place, he could run again. And this has certainly kept the flames of speculation burning hot.
But here’s the kicker — Let’s understand what’s at stake. If this amendment passes, it wouldn’t just clear the way for Trump. It opens the door for any president to run for a third term as well. Forget the two-term limit. This proposal is about rewriting the rulebook altogether. And make no mistake, Trump isn’t the only one who’s eyeing that third term. If this goes through, any future president could be looking at a longer stay in office, and that could fundamentally shift how the game is played in U.S. politics.
But Ogles’ amendment isn’t just about Trump. It’s about power. It’s about pushing boundaries. It’s about testing limits. We’re talking about a constitutional shift that could change the course of U.S. politics forever.
And let’s not kid ourselves — This isn’t just some casual suggestion from a guy who has nothing better to do. This is the Republican Party doubling down on its loyalty to Trump. This is a move that’s stirring the pot, making people uncomfortable, and sending shockwaves through both political parties.
Will Ogles’ resolution have legs? It’s hard to say. The path to amending the Constitution is tough as nails. Getting two-thirds of Congress on board is no small feat, especially with so much division in D.C. But even if it doesn’t get the green light, the fact that it’s being discussed openly shows just how much influence Trump still wields in the political landscape.
So, what happens next? Buckle up. The fight over Trump’s third term isn’t going away anytime soon, and the whole country is watching closely as this political drama unfolds. Whether you’re for it or against it, one thing’s clear: This push to rewrite the rules is heating up — and it’s only going to get more intense from here.
