US President Donald Trump did not deny the possibility of running for a third term, despite the fact that the country's Constitution prohibits running for president more than twice, The Independent writes. He made a statement about this during an interview with journalists.
When one of the reporters asked him, "Will you file a lawsuit against the constitutional restriction?" Trump stated that he hadn't seriously considered this yet. At the same time, speaking about his rating indicators, he said: "I am the person with the highest results in the history of surveys. If the people want it, I will gladly do it."
Trump also stated that Republican candidates such as Vice President Jay DiVence or Secretary of State Marco Rubio could run in the upcoming elections. However, he noted that his political potential and experience are still high, stating that "I am the president who brought peace to America."
For information, according to the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, a citizen of the country cannot be elected president more than twice. A constitutional amendment is required to violate this norm.
Trump emphasized that this restriction needs to be reviewed historically and politically, stating, "I stopped eight wars and saved millions of lives. If the people believe me again, why not?"
At the same time, political analysts believe that the implementation of Trump's third term idea requires broad national consensus in the US. Amendments to the Constitution are one of the most complex processes and must be approved by both houses of Congress and at least two-thirds of all states.
These opinions sparked heated discussions among the public. While some political scientists view Trump's statement as political PR or election strategy, others suggest he might indeed aim for a third term.
Political observers say that Trump's statement could usher in a new era on the American political scene. His supporters call him a "great reformer," while his critics assess him as a "threat to democratic traditions."
Thus, although Donald Trump's idea of a third presidency is currently only at the level of political considerations, discussions on this topic have become one of the most interesting debates ahead of the upcoming US elections.
