Representative Andy Ogles, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for Tennessee’s 5th district, recently shared insights on social media regarding political history and legislative proposals. His posts draw comparisons between historical figures and discuss potential changes in presidential term eligibility.

On March 28, 2025, Ogles pointed out a historical detail that only two American presidents have served non-consecutive terms. He remarked: "In all of American history, only two men have met this description. Grover Cleveland, who served as the 22nd and 24th President in the 19th Century, and President Trump."

Following this, Ogles addressed a legislative proposition concerning presidential terms, emphasizing its specific scope. He stated that "It’s important to note that this legislation would only allow those who have served two non-consecutive terms to be eligible for a third."

Finally, Ogles elaborated on the requirements for President Trump to serve a third term, noting that it would necessitate a democratic process. He mentioned that "In order to serve a third term, President Trump would have to run for re-election and be freely selected by the American people."
