The Constitution doesn’t allow a single person to serve as the president of the country for three times, but ever since taking office for the second time, Trump has been testing the idea of running for a third term.
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once,” the Constitution states.
So far, Donald Trump has opened up about the idea of a third term a number of times.
However, not many believed he was serious – unless not until recently, when he clearly hinted there are ways for him to continue his presidency beyond 2028.
Recently, Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution that would amend the U.S. Constitution to allow a president to serve up to three terms, but no more.
“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years. He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal,” Ogles wrote on his website.
“To that end, I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms. This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”
While Ogles tends to change the law and Trump is looking for loopholes, the Pew Research Center reveals that only 40 percent of poll participants approve of Trump’s performance in office so far. This shows that the ratings have dropped by seven percent compared to February’s.
Asked about their opinion on Trump’s decision on imposing tariffs, 59 percent disapprove of the increase.
A separate poll by Reuters and Ipsos asked respondents if Trump should run for a third term.
“Three-quarters of respondents said Trump should not run for a third term in office — a path Trump has said he would like to pursue, though the U.S. Constitution bars him from doing so,” Reuters revealed.
“A majority of Republican respondents — 53% — said Trump should not seek a third term,” it added.
