The Right has outgrown their use for masks.
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
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.
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.
That’s basically what I’ve been posting on Social Media anytime shit like this happens.
“How does this lower grocery prices?”
Ask whenever the Right or Center is listening, keep the message on “Trump is distracting you from what he isn’t doing, but should.”
If this fails, you can expect them to redefine what a “term” means. And if that fails they can simply cancel elections under “emergency” conditions and keep him in office for longer.
… and if that fails, they can just say “too bad” and do whatever they want anyway because who’s going to stop them?
I just want to point out that this is just one of the many many campaign promises he is trying to fulfill. Sure, it’s a big deal. But simply saying “conservatives are pathetic” is not only reactionary, it is wrong. Look at what is happening to immigrants. You might not see them as a problem, but conservatives do, and they are “solving” it.
Just saying, this shit is way scarier this time around. They’re fuckin’ moving.
Wonderful idea, I can’t wait for a third Obama term.
It’s written to exclude Obama.
It’s written specifically to exclude Bush, Clinton, and Obama, Trump is the only person it can apply to.
Trump is not exactly a spring chicken. He is one mild medical event to being in the history book.
COVID nearly killed him and RFK is antivax sycophant. I’m not a betting man but…
The neo-Nazi filled GOP can shove their 3rd term idea where the sun does not shine.
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.
This is more bullshit to distract.
This is saying it louder for the people in the back. Musk’s Nazi Salute isn’t getting the message across? Okay, how about this?
They so desperatly want a hidden militia to come out of the woodwork and coup the country for them
Those people are either dead from covid, too old to fight for their coup, or are just LARPers and actually aren’t interested in dying for a con man.
well a shit ton were just released from jail after being paroled for j6
Ok. How many votes do they need to change the rule governing how many votes a constitutional amendment requires?
the same amount,
The United States Constitution Article V:
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
Laws don’t apply to trump.
So if people commit crimes against Trump, he isn’t protected? No laws right?
They don’t apply to Biden either
Knowing Trump, I wouldn’t be surprised if he went full Nayib Bukele and sent in troops to influence the vote.
And as much as I like Bukele, he presided over unique circumstances where his country was effectively being ruled by MS-13 and his actions were warranted in the case of being elected leader of a country ruled by drug overlords. The USA is going through no such crisis.
God damn. I’ve never seen a group of people lick asshole so hard and ask for seconds. These people box Trump’s tonsils digging that tongue so far in it’s unbelievable
'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.
So if Carter rises from the dead he can get a solid 8y in?
Bring back Grover Cleveland!
This is the real power move. If trump can run again so can Obama.
No, because Obama has been elected two consecutive terms.
Obama returns to the presidency in 2028!
Not paying attention. He already served two consecutive terms. Can’t run for a third unless you win a term them lose a term then win a term and need a third term to actually get shit done.

It doesn’t really matter. Getting a new constitutional amendment ratified is basically impossible at this point.
bet they try to take it to the supreme court “whaaa the congress won’t give me a dictatorship whaaa” and the court just fucks us all.
Pretty cool how we have the freedumb to install a dictator.
Just First Past the Post voting things.
This is what happens when you dont have a democracy
Cuz of first past the post.
Yep
This is what happens when you have stupid people that vote en masse.
Nope.
So where them 2A folk at LOL
Probably confused as hell watching the democrats refusing to drop gun control as part of their platform after an attempted insurrection and police violence repeatedly happening with no justice system reform.
But the blue conservatives were never really about representing people. What else did I expect?
‘Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary’ - Karl Marx
Why aren’t the “left” arming themselves while an obvious fascist takes power? “LOL”
They are. It frequently comes up here.
We aren’t loud about it, but many of us are always armed and many more are getting there.
I know a few but when I tell people online to prepare they’re mostly dismissive if not outright hostile. I’m sure most of them will disavow any politics and kneel when it’s time to rat on their neighbors.
I’ve got more guns than limbs.
“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.
