A Republican Representative has claimed that a proposed amendment to the Constitution allowing presidents to serve more than two terms has "a lot of support" among GOP colleagues.

Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles introduced a House joint resolution on January 23 to amend the part of the Constitution that prevents a president from being elected more than twice.

Speaking to Fox News about the move, he said: "It forces a conversation... we have a lot of support in the House."

However, he acknowledged that the amendment faced "a tough road" if it is to be passed by the House and Senate.
