America’s President Donald Trump is taking over the power of the country for the second time. But, meanwhile, Trump has now expressed his intention to become President for the third time. On Friday, Trump shared an A-I picture on Truth Social in which he is holding a poster on which it is written – Trump 2028, Yes… Meanwhile, let us know what the US Constitution says? Can Trump take charge of the country’s power for the third time?
According to the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution, no person can become President of America more than twice. According to the Constitution, a person can take charge of the country’s power only twice. Donald Trump became President for the first time in 2017. Trump has repeatedly flirted with the idea of serving more than the constitutionally mandated two terms. He has made jokes on this in rallies and has also shown caps with Trump 2028 written on it to his supporters.
What did Trump say on becoming President for the third time?
Trump had said in October that US law prevents him from seeking a third term and called it unfortunate. He had also refused the possibility of contesting the elections for the post of Vice President.
When asked about his candidacy for vice president in the 2028 elections, Trump told reporters that he is allowed to do that, but he also added, I would not do that. I think it would be like a very light joke.
What is Trump’s plan?
The US President told NBC News in May that he was not interested in running for a third term, but was focusing on enjoying four wonderful years in office.
Speaking to NBC News’ Meet the Press host Kristen Welker, Trump said, “It’s not something I’m planning to do,” adding, “I want to have four great years and then turn it over to someone—ideally a great Republican—to carry it forward.”
What does the Constitution say?
The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, which was enacted in 1951, states that no person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was also elected for two additional terms. However, he died just a few months after beginning his fourth term. Several years later, in 1951, the 22nd Amendment was ratified to implement the two-term limit.
