Ogles made the resolution on Thursday barely few days after Trump took office, he said four years will not be enough for the new American leader to change the rot left by the immediate past President Joe Biden.

President Trump took his oath of office as US 47th leader on January 20, 2025.

The lawmaker’s remark comes amidst recent suggestions by Preident Trump to Republican lawmakers that he may not be able to run for another election at the end of his tenure in 2029 “unless you (lawmakers) do something.”

According to checks, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only US leader to have ruled the country four times. Analysts said this was made possible due to the exigency of the Second World war.

The  22nd Amendment of the US on presidential terms says “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than two times … ”

Ogle’s resolution is however trying to amend the part of the Constitution to read
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times … ”

He added, “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.

“He is dedicated to restoring the republic and saving our country, and we, as legislators and as states, must do everything in our power to support him.

“I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms.”
