Trump Acknowledges Constitutional Limitations on Third Term
President Donald Trump recognizes the US Constitution's restriction on presidential terms.
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE: President Donald Trump acknowledged on Wednesday that he is 'not allowed' to run for a third term, addressing the constitutional limits placed on his potential political future.
Trump, who served from 2017 to 2021 and began his second term in January, has faced ongoing discussions about a possible 2028 presidential run.
Despite high poll numbers among supporters, Trump recognized the constraints set by the US Constitution regarding term limits.
He stated that while he enjoys the support and speculation, the legal framework clearly prohibits a third consecutive term.
This acknowledgment comes amid various speculations and theories from both detractors and proponents, including discussions about potential Constitutional amendments or alternative political strategies to circumvent these restrictions.
However, House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized that amending the Constitution for such purposes appears implausible due to the significant requirements of two-thirds support in Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states, a process that could take over a decade.
