Trump Insists He May Seek Unconstitutional Third Term Amid Controversy
Former President Donald Trump has reignited debates over a possible third presidential term, asserting he is ‘not joking’ about his intentions. In various statements, Trump suggested that ‘there are methods’ for circumventing constitutional restrictions, specifically the 22nd Amendment which limits presidents to two terms. Despite widespread condemnation and legal challenges from scholars warning that such a bid would be unconstitutional, Trump’s supporters appear enthusiastic. GOP figures have expressed mixed reactions, with some dismissing his comments as political theater and others acknowledging his serious ambitions. Critics argue that pursuing a third term would undermine democratic norms. Trump remains a polarizing figure as he hints at running, leaving many questioning the implications for U.S. politics.
