Could Donald Trump be the first president since FDR to serve more than two terms?

Since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, no president has had the Constitutional right to serve for more than two terms. However, that all may be about to change with Rep. Andy Ogles’ (R-TN) new proposed amendment.

The change would affect the 22nd Amendment, which was created in response to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four-term presidency; Roosevelt died in 1945, a year after being elected to his fourth term. However, if Ogles’ proposition were to pass, it would allow for presidents who have served one term to then later be elected again to serve two consecutive terms.

Ogles reportedly said the purpose of this amendment would be to ensure more years of the strong leadership that Trump has provided the nation. “This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs,” Ogles said, according to Fox News.

While there is a real benefit in having a good leader in place for three terms, there are also some drawbacks. Extending the tenure of a president could lead to an excessive accumulation of power in the executive branch, which could decrease the effectiveness of the checks and balances system with the judicial and legislative branches.

As Christians, we must remember that leadership matters. God raises up leaders and removes them according to His divine plan. Some leaders bring blessing, revival and righteousness, while others bring corruption, oppression and deception. At all times, we must pray for wisdom and discernment when choosing our leaders, that they would follow along the path of godly righteousness.
