U.S. Congress has proposed changing the constitution for Trump's re-election in 2028
Member of the U.S. House of Representatives Andy Ogles proposed at the constitutional level to allow the President of the country to be re-elected for a third term. This is reported on January 23 on the website of the Republican congressman from Tennessee.
"No one may be elected to the office of president more than three times, as well as re-elected for an additional term having been elected for two consecutive terms," reads the draft resolution on an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Ogles explained his initiative by the need to provide US President Donald Trump with all the necessary resources to "correct the disastrous course" of former White House chief of staff Joe Biden's administration.
Currently, the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution states that the same person can be elected president no more than twice, regardless of the break between terms. If it is changed, Trump will be able to run in 2028 as well.
The Axios portal estimates that Ogles' proposal is unlikely to pass, as it needs a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress for approval, as well as ratification by 38 states.
Earlier on January 20, Trump took the oath of office, becoming the 47th president of the United States. This is his second term as president, the first time he was the American leader from 2017-2021. In his inauguration speech, the new US president announced the beginning of the "golden age of America".
The election of the 47th president of the United States was held on November 5, 2024. In the national vote, Trump received 51% of the votes, while the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris received 47.4%.
