President Donald Trump has openly entertained the idea of service of third term, but the US Constitution makes such a scenario highly impossible, AFP Informed
Talk to NBC News On Sunday, 78 -year -old Trump insisted that he was “not joking” about chasing another word and indicated on “methods” that could make it possible. However, most constitutional experts disagree. Any attempt to change the law will be an unprecedented political fight.
A look at the history of the president
The two-task tradition is back at the dates of George Washington, although it was not formally established until 150 years later. Only Franklin D. Roosevelt has given more than two tenure to win the election in 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1945 before he passed the election in 1945.
Yulis S. Other presidents including Grant and Theodore Roosevelt sought third conditions, but failed. Trump, after winning in 2016, lost in 2020, and reconstructing the victory in 2024, Grover Cleveland is only the second US President serving illegal terms.
Constitutional obstruction
The 22nd Amendment was passed in 1947 and confirmed in 1951, clearly limited to a President to two conditions. It said, “No person will be selected more than twice for the President’s office.” Additionally, the 12th amendment will probably prevent Trump from becoming vice -president and will later take over.
A longshot proposal
While Trump joked for serving beyond the first two conditions, his recent remarks were more specific. He even suggested a landscape, where Vice President JD Vance could run in 2028 and later returned the “pass”.
A proposal presented by Republican MP Andy Ogles in the Congress wants to allow non -prone presidents for a third term, but the possibility is thin. Constitutional amendments require heavy legislative support, making Trump’s return in 2028 a difficult achievement.
Despite these challenges, betting markets have reacted to Trump’s comments. His possibilities of winning the 2028 election have reduced him short, which gave him second place behind JD Vance.
