A Republican group is hoping to rally support to change the Constitution to allow President Donald Trump to seek a third term.

The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1951 following the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to four terms between 1933 and 1945. The two-term limit for presidents was introduced by Congress to prevent potential abuses of power.
