Donald Trump Flirts Again with Third Term - Trump Allies Explore Third Term Loopholes, Despite 22nd Amendment
Speculation is rife about a potential third term for former US President Donald Trump, with some allies suggesting strategies to bypass the 22nd Amendment. Trump, who would be 82 in 2028, has not ruled out the possibility.
The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, clearly states that a person can serve as president for no more than two terms. Any attempt to circumvent this would require substantial legal and political wrangling, potentially involving constitutional changes or interpretations.
Trump's former strategist, Steve Bannon, has hinted at a plan to achieve this, although specifics remain unclear. When asked about a third term, Trump responded enigmatically, 'You’ll have to tell me that'.
While Trump has expressed interest in a third term, he has dismissed the idea of running as vice president to potentially succeed another candidate. Any plan to bypass the 22nd Amendment would face significant hurdles, and the constitutionality of such a move remains uncertain.
