Why newly proposed bill would let Trump run for a third term but not Obama

A new bill proposed by Rep. Andy Ogles aims to amend the 22nd Amendment,

allowing Donald Trump to run for a third presidential term. Ogles argues

that Trump needs eight years to restore America to “greatness” and reverse

the country’s decline. However, the proposed amendment would also prevent

former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton from running again.

The new language would allow three presidential terms but prevent someone who has

served two consecutive terms from running again. Experts suggest the proposal has

little chance of passing, as it requires a supermajority in both houses of Congress.

Mark Shanahan, a politics expert, called it “wishful thinking,” pointing out that

while it shows Ogles’ loyalty to Trump, it faces significant constitutional and political hurdles.
