It’s impressive how hard these people lick boots.

Good fucking luck with that hurdle.

They need a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate; or a conventio called by Congress at the request of two-thirds of the state legislatures. Then it has to be ratified by the legislatures of three-quarters of the states.

Even if they managed a super majority on both sides of Congress for Trumplefuck, there's no way they're getting 38 States to agree to that.

It's cute how so many in the comments think the legal checks will prevent this. They don't care about the law or the Constitution in the same way they don't care about optics, hypocrisy, decorum, or process. People keep viewing this through the lense of American democracy. None of that matters to fascists.

“It is imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration,” Ogles said in a statement

so Biden created a bad situation for him in 4 years, yet he thinks Trump needs 8 years to undo it. Sounds like a skill issue to me.

In order for it to pass, they need 290 votes in the House. The Republicans currently have 220 votes, so they would need 70 Democrats to flip.

Then it goes to the Senate where they need 67 votes. First, 60 to get past the inevitable filibuster, and with 53 votes, Republicans need 7 Democrats to flip to move it forward and 14 to pass it.

Then, the fun part, they need 38 states to ratify it. Trump did win 31 states, so he would still need 7 Harris states to ratify an amendment.

Good job guys, you saved Palestine!

Me as a Tennessean: "I bet it's Andy Ogles"

Checks

Goddamn can I read that man like a fucking book. I'm sorry we're all trying to vote the bastard out but the State gerrymandered the district because... AND I SHIT YOU NOT... "California does it, so it's okay if we do it too". Honest to God what our State Assembly said about breaking Nashville up into a hellscape of gerrymandering.

Do know, he's an idiot IRL as well. He's the kind that's really full of himself and he's got a super high self-worth in head.

What a frivolous waste of congressional speaking time. I thought these guys had real problems to solve? I thought Trump was gonna fix it all this time around? You're telling me not even 1 week into his new term and he's already thinking about how the job won't be done in time?

Conservatives are pathetic.

Imagine the Dems brought Obama back

And there it is..

Do they really expect their orange beanbag leader to still be alive in four years? And if he still is, to still be able to know his own name or speak coherently in public?

A constitutional amendment required 2/3s House and Senate AND 3/4 of states. And they don’t have that. This is more bullshit to distract.

To amend the U.S. Constitution, a proposed amendment must be approved by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures (38 out of 50 states). Alternatively, an amendment can be proposed by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures, but this method has never been used.

Standard traitor shit.

Pretty cool how we have the freedumb to install a dictator.

So where them 2A folk at LOL

From the article:

Ogles’ resolution is tailored specifically to permit Trump to serve a third term, but not to allow three out of the four living former presidents to serve third terms.

It's a Trump only privilege which, given the track record, could have been assumed, unfortunately.

On one hand: called it. On the other: fuck.

FTA" "Trump “has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal,”" - He hasn't don't anything yet!! How has he 'proven himself'

Trump is not exactly a spring chicken. He is one mild medical event to being in the history book.

The Right has outgrown their use for masks.

Obama returns to the presidency in 2028!

To amend the United States Constitution, a proposed amendment must be approved by Congress and ratified by three-fourths of the states. The process is outlined in Article V of the Constitution.

Congress: A two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate is required

Constitutional convention: Two-thirds of state legislatures must call for a convention

Ratification: Three-fourths of state legislatures or conventions must ratify the amendment

Each state legislature must vote on the amendment in an up-or-down vote

State legislatures cannot change the language of the amendment

This is DOA

Surely we would all actually show up to try to fight this, right? If it passed.

'No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms," the amendment states. Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all served two consecutive terms, and thus would be barred from being elected to a third term. But not Trump, who is the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1892 to be elected to a second, non-consecutive term.

Wonderful idea, I can't wait for a third Obama term.

The neo-Nazi filled GOP can shove their 3rd term idea where the sun does not shine.

Stop hand wringing in here. It's fucking stupid, and a PR play. You need 38 states for a constitutional amendment, and that isn't happening however you slice it.
