President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”
Former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told News Nation that he thinks Trump will "run and win again in 2028" and that there are "a couple of alternatives" which would allow him to do so, even though there currently aren't under U.S. law.
Bannon is right things can be changed ...that would allow a Trump 3rd run for President.
Trump already did , he won all 3 elections
A third term would put Trump in line with other controversial world leaders who have managed to defy term limits.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stayed in power iin 2008 after his final term ended by instead being elected to serve as Prime Minister—with his close ally Dmitry Medvedev serving as president—during which time the law changed to allow lengthier presidential terms. Putin was reinstated as president in 2012 and has stayed in power since, signing laws in 2021 that will keep him eligible to serve through at least 2036.
Change things ...........and it can happen........this way:
Amend the Constitution to abolish the two-term limit ..... a constitutional convention..
Chinese President Xi Jinping was elected to a third term in 2023 after his government amended China’s Constitution to get rid of existing term limits, paving the way for the Chinese leader to potentially serve for life.
That's it ,,President Trump should jump right over a push for a 3rd term and shoot for serving for life.......
As our President said: "there were methods for doing so"...
As long as there are methods of doing something ..anything can happen..
once again the true colors of our maga's come out. I thought magas were patriots and believed in the constitution? lmfaoooo. It would be hard to find a maga that actually values the Constitution. Every last one of them are total traitors to Our Country and are only loyal to their career criminal con artist. These are the people should be sent to foreign prisons. How sick is it to hear magas wanting trump to join other dictators like russia, china etc etc in staying in power forever. Reading the posts here in this thread sicken me to no end.
The 22nd amendment makes President Trump constitutionally ineligible to run for a third term and the 12th amendment makes him constitutionally ineligible to run as vice president. That said there is no constitutional provision that says speaker of the house must be an elected member of Congress, and there is no constitutional provision that says a two term president cannot become speaker of the house. This would place him third in the order of succession.
Now that said, if something happened to POTUS and VP, and our country was still standing, we would still have a conflict of the 22nd amendment as the Constitution would overrule the succession act. They would either have to elect a new speaker or skip President Trump for the President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
The Constitution is the law of the land. The only options are a constitutional amendment to repeal the 22nd amendment (short on votes) or an Article V convention (short on states)
No amendment 22 of the constitution he swore to defend section one " 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. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term"
This is pretty clear cut hard NO. This is the man's final term. Unless the constitution is amended it is crystal clear.
Now the debate is he is ineligible to hold any office eligible to be president in a succession such if the president vice president speaker of the house senate majority leader the cabinet the deputy cabinet members or the top brass in the military. There is an incase unable to perform order to government succession to 1600 Penn Ave but There are clear ruling guidelines in place that Trump can not run or be elected to a third term .
He could hold the office of vice president. But he can't run for president again is a debateable point.
