Donald Trump Considers Third Term Despite Legal Challenges
/Article


Donald Trump hinted at a potential third term in office and indicated the existence of legal loopholes despite the constitutional limit of two terms. He mentioned that there is interest from supporters for him to run again and suggested hypothetical scenarios, including a possible transfer of power with Vice President. However, he did not provide specific details on how this could be constitutionally achieved, acknowledging that it is premature to actively pursue a third term. Some of Trump's allies have expressed support for amending the Constitution to enable his re-election, which would require significant legislative and state approval. The 22nd Amendment, enacted in 1951 after FDR's four-term presidency, aims to prevent prolonged executive power and restricts individuals who have served more than two years of another president's term from being elected more than once. The Twelfth Amendment also prohibits ineligible presidential candidates from serving as vice president.
