Trump's Third Term Ambitions
President Trump has been flirting with the idea of a third term, despite the unconstitutionality of such a move.
In a recent interview, Trump mentioned his high poll numbers, saying
"I have my highest poll numbers that I've ever had... And you know, based on what I read, I guess I'm not allowed to run. So we'll see what happens."
However, legal experts agree that the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution is clear:
"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."
Trump's job approval rating is currently at 41%, not its highest point, but also not its lowest.
Despite the constitutional barrier, Trump's statement
"we'll see what happens"leaves his options open, although experts say there is no way to circumvent the 22nd Amendment.
Author's summary: Trump eyes third term despite unconstitutionality.
- 22nd Amendment prohibits more than two presidential terms
- Trump's current job approval rating is 41%
- Experts say there's no way around the constitutional barrier
