Donald Trump has only been back in office for a few days, and people are already calling for him to remain as president until 2032.

Trump's inauguration took place in Washington D.C. on Monday (January 20), and the 78-year-old wasted no time in signing an influx of executive orders that could completely change the US as we know it.

From pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization, to forbidding transgender women to be housed in female prisons, Trump has made slew of proposals.

Speaking in his inauguration speech, Trump announced that 'the golden age of America starts now'. But it could take more than four years to carry out the country's so-called 'golden age', some have suggested.

With this in mind, US Representative Andy Ogles has advised making a change to the 22nd Amendment that would allow Trump to run for a third term as president.

As it stands, the POTUS can only run twice.

Addressing the proposal, Ogles said in a statement issued yesterday (January 23): "President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years.

"He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal.

"To that end, I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms.

"This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs."

Ogles went on to say that it's 'imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden Administration'.

According to the congressman, it will take a decade to correct the 'relentless abuses' the Biden Administration subjected Americans to during his time in office.

Ogles wants the language of the proposed amendment to now read: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."

For the change to be made, Ogles' proposal will have to be passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, for the president to then sign into law.

It's unclear how long this process might take.
