Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles has provoked an outcry on social media by arguing that Donald Trump deserves a third term as president.
“Give Trump a third term, give him a Peace Prize, and let him run D.C. as long as he wants,” Ogles, 54, wrote on X on Sunday, prematurely hailing Trump before he met with European leaders on Monday as he attempts to bring an end to the war in Ukraine after an unsuccessful summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska last week.
The congressman’s post was quickly annotated with a Community Note that pointed out that the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice, and no person who has held the office of president, or acted as president… shall be elected to the office of the president more than once.”
The same founding document declareselsewhere, incidentally, that representatives and senators “shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution,” a condition of which Ogles may be in violation.
The representative proposed his amendment to the Constitution earlier this year that would have enabled Trump to serve a third term. However, its chance of adoption was always minimal, given that it would have required the approval of two-thirds of the House and Senate and ratification by the legislatures of at least 38 of the 50 states.
Among those taking exception to Ogles’ post was Nina Turner, former presidential campaign manager to Vermont Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders, who wrote: “This should be grounds for removal. This is not acceptable for a Representative, it’s blatantly unconstitutional.”

“225 days ago, you raised your right hand and swore to support & defend the Constitution of the United States. Shame on you,” said former Illinois GOP congressman Joe Walsh.
“If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it,” stated media pundit Mehdi Hasan.
“This you?” asked Patriot Takes, quoting Ogles himself, saying of Trump as recently as March 28: “Contrary to the Left’s narrative, NOBODY is being crowned king or named dictator.”
Invited by Republicans Against Trump to critique the post, X’s AI assistant Grok answered: “The tweet proposes unconstitutional actions: a third term violates the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit (Trump is serving his second). The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Committee, not ‘given’ by the U.S. Allowing indefinite rule undermines democracy and the Constitution.”
Perhaps most brutally of all, Justin Jones, a state representative from Ogles’ native Tennessee, commented: “If ‘pick me’ energy were a person. So embarrassing.”
The Republican is no stranger to scandal, having previously come under fire for falsely claiming he was a “trained economist,” despite picking up a C grade in the one class he ever attended.
He has also faced questions over missing funds from a children’s memorial garden and endured a storm of criticism over a family Christmas card, which portrayed the Ogles clan bearing festive assault rifles.
More recently, he provoked a storm by calling for New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to be deported in a tweet that referred to him as “little muhammad” and as an “antisemitic, socialist, communist” who would “destroy” the Big Apple if he were elected.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffriesresponded to him in an Instagram video in June, in which he said, “Andy Ogles is a complete and total fraud. Your whole life is fake, bro. You’re a complete and total embarrassment. We need to throw you out of Congress.”
Careful there, Ogles, you might stab yourself on that pencil dick you’re sucking.
„I supported your eternal reign when it was just in it’s beginning, my liege.“
“Andy Ogles trolls liberals on X by again pitching unconstitutional extension to president’s reign”
Don’t minimize and sanewash this crap by suggesting he’s just trying to aggravate the other side for kicks. The only times Republicans ever tell the truth is when they claim (or are depicted by complicit media) to be “joking.”
Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles is a complete moron. The 22nd Amendment is crystal clear: A person can only be elected twice as President. The 12th Amendment is also crystal clear: If the person is ineligible to be President, they cannot be Vice President. It’s really that simple.

„I’m really supportive of all of the child raping, dismantling of our constitution and complete takeover by the national security state“ — Andy Ogles.
If its not a literal fire at this point who gives a fuck, words mean nothing against republicans
That headline should be literal
Andy ogles is actually in legal troubles for possible financial crimes

So he is clearly fishing for a pardon by kissing Trumps ass or a closure of the case by Trumps FBI
The Constitution is explicit. No 3rd terms. This guy doesn’t seem to care if he harms the democracy.
Andy Ogles is a fascist
This is the same idiot who wanted to change the constitution so trump could get a third term in a way that specifically would make Obama still ineligible
Make it so; then Qbama can run against him!
„This dictator will be different. He totally won’t turn on his sycophants like literally every other on in human history!“ – Every person supporting him.
Why don’t these monsters just openly say they hate democracy and save everyone the time…
The Republican party’s dedication to the Constitution, the rule of law and democracy is remarkable.
This fucker isn’t joking. This should end his career–people who advance poisonous ideas like this deserve to have their lives ruined, tbh.
More and more of them will get on board with the Trump coup as they realize the door is swinging back around and the left has no want to relive Obama not going after Bush, or Biden not going full tilt after Trump. We want someone who will go after these fuckers the way they went after the foundations of our country.
I have a better idea. Let Trump adopt him when he leaves office and then Trump will legally be his daddy.
These jerks are more loyal to a party than the founding principles of this country. It’s awful, and I didn’t think it would go this far a few years back.
No sir! Fuck right off with that nonsense!
The GOP = Gang Of Phucknuts
The US Constitution says he cannot have another term. It doesn’t matter what Ogles thinks.
For being anti-LGB these type of comments sucking off Trump really is the gayest thing I’ve ever seen
Oh Ogles the shitstain is now a “top republican”? Don’t give him that honor. He doesn’t deserve it
We do not have kings in America
There are no top Republicans. They are all Nazi filth that shouldn’t be arrested for being traitors to democracy, along with trump and the rest of this administration.
Making statements like this is the only way for Ogles to get any attention. Ask his wife.

There it is. Mind you, this isn’t specifically for Trump. This is what they want for the Republican party. They know Trump probably won’t make it thru his second term. They are just using him as the figurehead for this movement.
Distracting from child rapist predator’s accountability. Demand accountability.
Calling Ogles a “top republican” is a choice lmao
Remember folks, the reason why comedians can joke in a free society is because they have politicians to compare serious discussion to.
Politicians by design are not allowed to joke, remind them of that.
Trump is going to start a war and claim we can’t hold elections during a war.
The GOP IS not even *pretending* to support and defend the Constitution anymore.
Republicans need to be clearly pointed out for the threats to America that they are. This is insane
There we go. They are starting to normalize the idea. Today he was very agreeable when Zelensky said Ukraine cannot have elections because of the war. Already in his mind to create a crisis internal or external, to make sure he holds onto power for life
By what measure does this no-name ass qualify as a “top Republican”?
Whats crazy is that Liberals have been right about nearly everything and conservatives have been wrong about everything yet they still keep telling liberals that they know more than them. Trump is never leaving unless forcefully removed.
They are „just kidding“ until they aren’t.
Fuck this hillbilly.
And all these fucks on social media saying, „he’s only joking, that’s just how Trump talks!“. Ugh. It’s happening if no one stops it.
So the Constitution and term limits in the Constitution don’t matter to anyone in the MAGA/FELON Cult? 7 months into his current term? Idiots, everyone of these A.H’s are a idiot cultist.
Andy Ogles is a treasonous piece of shit.
They’re screaming their plans…and, we’ll continue to act shocked as they implement them
Great more high treason from politicians! When do we get the corporal punishment part?
Let him move to Russia. That’s how they roll
Republicans don’t deserve power. They ought to be put on the back burner and stripped of all their power for the next century or two.
Republicans tired of all the L’s and now want to hold onto power because they know they are a dead party.
