US President Donald Trump did not refuse the idea to realize the third term in the White House, despite the 22nd alteration of the US Constitution that prohibits her. Trump claimed that there were “methods”, as it happened, and stressed that he did not “do”.
“Many people want me to do it,” Trump said in an interview with NBC News. “But I think basically I tell them that we have a long way, you know, it’s very soon in administration. I focus on the present,” he added with reference to his current term.
Possible strategy: JD Vance as a successor
On the question of a potential scenario in which his vice -president JD Vance could run for the office and later transfer power to him, Trump acknowledged it as a possibility.
“That’s one,” Trump said when he was asked about the strategy. “There are methods that you could do,” he added, leaving the door open for speculation.
The third term suggests that it is not new
This is not the first time Trump indicated the possibility of the third presidency. He previously suggested that he should obtain other conditions for what he considered unfair treatment during his first presidency.
When the President asked about the search for another period, he replied, “I like to work.”
“I don’t determine,” Trump repeated during the interview. But he also tried to downplay the discussion and said, “It is too early to think.”
Constitutional obstacles
22. Amendment to the US Constitution, ratified in 1951, explicitly limits presidents to two term of office.
Ratified in 1951 after four consecutive election victories Franklin D. Roosevelt 22. Amendments state that “no person will be elected to the President’s office more than twice.”
The abolition of the two -year limit would be extremely demanding, as this would require either a two -thirds majority in the congress or the approval of two -thirds of the states to convene the constitutional Convention. Any proposed change would then need ratification of three quarters of states.
Trump’s repeated teasing of the third term suggests that the theme is not completely outside the table. As the election cycle 2028 is approaching, it will probably continue to talk about the potential plans of Trump and maintain supporters and critics on high readiness.
