GOP Bill Aims to Let Trump, Not Obama, Seek Third Term
Following President Trump’s suggestive comments about a potential 2028 run, Representative Andy Ogles introduced a resolution to amend the Constitution, enabling Trump to seek a third term. This proposal, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasingly sycophantic nature of some Republicans, eager to appease the former president. The amendment’s specific language, barring presidents elected for two consecutive terms from a third run, exposes its partisan intent. This incident is part of a larger trend; Republicans are frequently introducing legislation mirroring Trump’s pronouncements, regardless of feasibility, to demonstrate loyalty and gain favor. This behavior points to a concerning normalization of personality-driven politics within the GOP.
