Rep. Andy Ogles pursues constitutional amendment, let Trump serve 3rd term

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is pursuing legislation to amend the Constitution so that President Donald Trump can serve a third term. “It’s a unique time in history,” Ogles told Just the News.
The 22nd Amendment currently limits presidents to serving two terms, whether consecutive or not. The House of Representatives proposed the amendment in 1947, two years after Franklin D. Roosevelt died after winning four straight terms, and it was ratified in 1951.
Ogles said Trump’s loss in 2020 interrupted his ability to serve two consecutive terms, and he believes Americans would benefit during a turbulent era to have the choice of letting Trump serve eight straight years if they wanted.
“It’s a unique time in history when you have someone who was elected president, then didn’t win reelection, and then the American people said ‘Oh crap, we messed up. We want President Trump,’” he told the Just The News, No Noise television show Friday night.
“It’s only happened one other time in history and so I think this is the opportunity to let President Trump and JD Vance serve two terms,” he explained.
Ogles said he has already introduced legislation — known as a joint resolution — to start the constitutional amendment process, which would require three-fourths of the states (38 of 50) to ratify. Democrats would likely strongly oppose the process.
Ogles said he also is pursuing a second bill certain to garner attention — the PEDO Act — designed to punish any federal worker who destroys evidence from the Jeffrey Epstein case.
“I don’t trust the government. We know the government has been hiding things from us,” he said. “Heck they just found 2,400 or 2,600 ‘new’ JFK assassination files. Come on, give me a break.
“What my bill does as it requires agencies to preserve all documents related to Epstein and the saga therein,” Ogles added.
