A new Republican-led proposal aims to allow Donald Trump, but not Barack Obama, to run for a third presidential term. The bill, introduced by Representative Andy Ogles, seeks to amend the Constitution to enable Trump to pursue another term in office. However, the effort is widely expected to fail, though it still carries symbolic significance. The details of Ogles’ proposal are notable. The language specifically bars a president from seeking a third term if they were elected to two consecutive terms. This means the measure would permit Trump, who served only one consecutive term, to run again, while preventing Obama, who served two terms, from doing the same. This distinction underscores the partisan nature of the proposal, which appears more focused on political messaging than on a genuine attempt to revise the Constitution. Notably, the bill seems to counter claims from some Republican circles that Trump is already eligible to run for a third term. By proposing this amendment, Ogles implicitly acknowledges that such arguments lack legal grounding. Ultimately, the proposal serves as a reminder of the deeply polarized political climate rather than a serious legislative effort.

Jim Acosta bumped to 12 AM slot. Many saying this is a clear example of media bowing down to Trump. Listen:
