President Donald Trump openly accepted the idea of term term, but the U.S. Constitution makes this extremely unlikely, AFP Report.
Speech NBC News On Sunday, Trump, 78, insisted that he was not pursuing another term “joking” and hints at the “method” that could make it possible. However, most constitutional experts disagree. Any attempt to change the law is an unprecedented political struggle.
Look at the President’s History
The tradition of two presidency can be traced back to George Washington, although it was not officially established until more than 150 years later. Only Franklin D.
Including Ulysses S. Trump won in 2016, lost in 2020 and won in 2024, and was the second U.S. second president after Grover Cleveland.
Constitutional Obstacles
Amendment No. 22 was adopted in 1947 and ratified in 1951, explicitly limiting the president’s two terms. It noted: “No one can be elected to the presidential office more than twice.” In addition, the Twelfth Amendment could prevent Trump from becoming vice president and later re-employment.
A long-term suggestion
Although Trump had previously joked that he had been in office for more than two terms, his recent speech was more specific. He even proposed a scenario where Vice President JD Vance might run in 2028 and then return to him “through the baton.”
Republican Congressman Andy Ogles has made a resolution in Congress in Congress to allow a third non-reelection president, but its chances are small. The constitutional amendment requires overwhelming legislative support, which makes Trump’s return in 2028 a tough feat.
Despite these challenges, how does the betting market react to Trump’s comments. His chances of winning the 2028 election have been shortened, leaving him second only to JD Vance.
