Constitutional amendment to allow Trump third term introduced in the House
Ogles' idea that Trump was denied the power inherent in two successive terms is an admission that the 22nd Amendment limits the power of the executive.
Is the Congress so limited? No.
Is the Judiciary so limited? No.
The 22nd Amendment is an unfair limitation on the power of the executive.
That is why we have dueling tyrannies, one of the legislative, and one of the judicial.
The one has put us $36 trillion in debt because it has the power of the purse. The other has jammed a code down our throats from time to time because in Marbury vs. Madison the Supremes arrogated to themselves the final say on the meaning of the constitution.
The founders intended the three branches to be separate, contending, equal powers.
The 22nd Amendment prevents the executive from contending beyond two terms, and so we are condemned to focusing unnaturally on who will be president every four years, which has the ironic effect of exalting the presidency to the point that there is all this hubbub all the time about the imperial presidency when our real masters are others, a neat trick those masters work like mad to pull and pull and pull.
Term limit everybody, or term limit no one.
