“In the afternoon of January 2029, he will be president of the United States,” predicted Bannon.

Representative Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., At the beginning of January, introduced a resolution of the Chamber to modify the Constitution in order to allow Trump and any other future president to be elected to a third term.
The resolution of Ogles is specifically designed to allow Trump to serve a third term, but not to allow the three former living presidents of two mandates to serve a third term.
“No one will be elected to the president’s office more than three times, or elected to any additional mandate after being elected on two consecutive conditions,” said the amendment.
