Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) is expressing pride in the approval of what he describes as a “big, beautiful bill.” President Donald Trump has referred to it as not only deserving a place alongside historical figures on Mount Rushmore but also as a catalyst for his potential third term.
“President Trump and House Republicans have just made history,” Ogles remarked in a statement. “I was at the White House yesterday, where both President Trump and Speaker Johnson voted for this significant piece of legislation.”
He emphasized that this new law would invigorate the economy and signals a fresh era for the U.S. Ogles pointed out the advantages of the Budget Settlement Bill, which aligns with Trump’s July 4 deadline, mentioning tax cuts, progress on border security, and issues related to taxes on tips and overtime. He also referenced initiatives like “Warches for Ice Patriots” and the Golden Dome.
“Thanks to President Trump, we’re finally reversing the setbacks caused by big government and the Democrats,” Ogles declared.
“This accomplishment is why Trump deserves serious consideration for a third term and why many feel he belongs on Mount Rushmore,” he added.
The passage of the bill was finalized on Thursday with a narrow 218-214 vote in the House.
This isn’t the first time Ogles has discussed the idea of Trump serving a third term. In January, he introduced a House resolution aimed at modifying the US Constitution to allow for three presidential terms.
The proposed changes include:
No individual can have served more than three terms in the presidential office, or been elected for two consecutive terms and then an additional term, without ever having been elected more than twice in the presidential office.
Ogles has previously mentioned that Trump’s leadership represents a stark contrast to what he describes as “chaos, suffering, and economic decline” experienced over the past four years.
“He has demonstrated that he is the only modern leader capable of restoring our nation’s greatness. He deserves the time needed to realize that vision,” he stated while proposing the amendment.
This aligns with a growing sentiment that Mount Rushmore could feature a portrait of Trump in the future.
