What do you think about the House introducing a bill allowing for a third term in office?

I’m waiting for it is okay for a South African (white GUY) to be Vice President ! ! ! !

And Barron is El Hefe, if DJT Sr dies.

Trump would be so old, he’d be older than Biden.

Not surprised.

Totally expected. It’s not a miscarriage of the Constitution, but following it. It’s dead in the water and a waste of time though, because you need ⅔ majority of Congress plus ¾ of all the states. It’s performative politics.

I just read this:

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment Thursday that would allow presidents three terms in office — as long as they did not serve two consecutive four-year stints.

That would allow a third term for Trump — whose two were interrupted by Joe Biden — but not for Obama, Clinton or George W. Bush, who each served two consecutive terms.

Totally not surprising that he worded the Bill to omit Obama, Clinton and George W.

I’m not in favor of it. And I doubt it would come to fruition anyway. It would require ⅔rd of the House and Senate to approve it. They are battling on everything with 1 or 2 votes carrying the day. I can’t see half the Democrats suddenly agreeing with Republicans on anything that would directly impact them as much.

A similar move in Russia destroyed democracy and left Putin as dictator. If Americans can unite on anything anymore it is surely that this is a bad idea.

Its only an amendment to an amendment. No big deal.

It’s a bad idea.

They’re nuts.

And not in a good way.

I’m genuinely glad you have a line. Thanks for having your humanity still intact.

I agree it’s a performance, the only question is what he’s using this as a distraction for.

I feel like something really bad is going on behind the scenes. We won’t find out what until years later.

I hope they legalize three terms, just so we can watch Obama kick his ass.

@Blackberry Trump didn’t propose this…Andy Ogles from Tennessee did. In fact I heard Trump say something yesterday about this being his last term. So instead of making it some conspiracy theory, let’s stick with facts.

@filmfan Read what @jca2 wrote up there. It is written to exclude all but Trump.

They have a right to draft whatever they want. I don’t think most people realize how few bills ever become law.

They’d have to rescind the 22nd amendment. A bill in Congress won’t do it.

It’s just more theater, designed to arouse people and make them one kind of crazy or another.

^^ Exactly their tactic. “Let’s just say bat shit things and see what people do. Fear at the highest level is an attempt to sway peoples vote.
