24 january 2025 в 20:37
Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States.
Currently, this means that his second term in the White House will be his last. However, Congressman Andy Ogles (a Republican from Tennessee) has proposed an amendment to the US Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term, stating that the country «can withstand bold leadership that our nation so desperately needs».
On Thursday, Ogles proposed an amendment stating: «No person shall be elected to the office of President more than three times, 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 President more than once».
Find out below if he can run again in 2028.
The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution limits the President to two terms in office, including non-consecutive terms. Therefore, the next four years will be the last time Trump can hold the highest office in the country.
According to the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum, George Washington, the first President of the United States, set a precedent by stepping down after two terms. This unofficial limit was followed by every president after Washington until Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected for four terms from 1932 to 1944.
In response to Roosevelt’s unprecedented term, the US Congress proposed limiting presidents to two terms in 1947. After amendments were made by the Senate, the amendment was approved and ratified by the states on February 27, 1951.
Trump has made several comments about his term in office and his time in office, although it is unclear whether he was serious. In July, he told participants at a conservative Christian event that they would not have to «vote anymore» if he is elected in 2024.
«Christians, go out and vote. Just this one time», - he said during a speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s summit, an event organized by the conservative group Turning Point Action. «You won’t have to do it anymore. Another four years. You know what? Everything will be fixed. Everything will be good. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians».
With Republicans seeking control of the House of Representatives and the Senate, concerns that Trump could potentially exceed the limits of power, similar to his role in the January 6 Capitol riot, are not unfounded.
Before the election day, the 78-year-old Trump stated that he would not run again in 2028 if he loses in 2024. In an interview with the media group Sinclair, he was asked if he could imagine another attempt if he loses to Harris. «No, I can’t. I think… that will be it», - Trump said. «I don’t see it at all». He added, «But, hopefully, we will be very successful»
