That didn’t take long

Everybody knew it was going to happen, but not when and not who was going to do it.

It turns out it was U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tennessee, who made the gesture.

We’re talking about a third term for President Donald Trump.

Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution Thursday that would amend the U.S. Constitution, allowing a president to serve more than two terms. Currently, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, ratified on Feb. 27, 1951, in the wake of Franklin D. Roosevelt being elected to four terms, forbids it.
