3rd Term
-
WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution to amend the Constitution of the United States to allow a President to be elected for up to but no more than three terms. The language of the proposed amendment reads as follows:
‘‘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, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.’’

Based on the election last fall I think this would be a very popular change.
This type of change usually doesn't apply to those currently in office, but not this one.
Why the limit after 2 consecutive terms? To stop Mr. Obama from getting another chance, well done.

Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term
The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws -
As a psychological exercise it would be quite interesting to see how many people would support this.
As a follow-up experiment, I'd suggest a second amendment whereby the formal term for addressing any President sitting for a third term was changed from 'Mr. President' to 'Your Highness', just to see how many people would buy into that one.

Yea, two and done works or therwise you get us an el presidente-for-life and there is nothing good about that. Also, I look at Trump as a placeholder for Vance. It would be nice to have an intelligent person for a change. It's been a long, long time.
A truly intelligent person wouldn't want the job.
Rogan had an interesting observation...He said that in his lifetime, presidents fall into two categories - warmongers and pussy hounds. He would prefer the latter to occupy the Oval Office.

Not so. There are a lot of very, very smart people in government. Our new Congressman, Greg Landsman, is very intelligent. Very moderate as well. While he was not who I voted for, he's doing a good job. I heard an interview with him yesterday. He's damn near a blue dog.
