Conservative lawmakers can find a way for Donald Trump to run for unconstitutional third presidential term by saying he doesn’t support Donald Trump’s legalization of amendments to the US Constitution. I poured cold water into the Republican fantasies.
Oklahoma Republican Sen. Mark Wayne asked Trump’s presidency on Sunday at an NBC meeting if he might stay in an oval office after his second presidency was over in 2028. Marin said: “No, I haven’t changed the constitution. Everything except when Americans choose to do that.”
Comment from Marine – who insisted on evoking the saying that Trump should be taken seriously, not literally – was a 1951 constitutional amendment that banned US presidents from serving beyond two terms. mentioned.
The exchange between press conference host Kristen Welker and Marin was followed by Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee, who said Trump made his third stint at the White House as his two terms were not in succession. It came after proposing a resolution in support of constitutional amendments that would allow them to serve. It served two consecutive terms of banning three other living former presidents and seeking again an oval office.
Additionally, Trump has recently called himself the “king” (a title with no time limit), and has discussed a push to stop New York’s congestion pricing policy.
The US Constitution explicitly prohibits presidents from running for a third term thanks to the 22nd Amendment. That amendment was introduced after being elected in 1932, followed by two terms by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and was re-elected in 1940 and 1944 during World War II. He served as president until his death in 1945.
Proposing to change that amendment would require approval from two-thirds of both the US Senate and House of Representatives, as proposed or otherwise. This is a control that Trump’s Republicans don’t have in Congress. Three-quarters of US state legislatures also need to approve the changes.
Last year, Republicans controlled only the Congress and governors of about 23 of the 50 states in the United States. Democrats control those same power levers in 17 states, with the rest being split.
Nevertheless, that sudden mathematics has not stopped Trump from increasing his chances of becoming beyond his second presidential term since his victory in the White House election in November.
He teased at the White House event on Thursday. You tell me. “
Audiences, including elected Republican officials like South Carolina U.S. Sen. Tim Scott and Michigan Sen. John James, as well as the famous golfer Tiger Woods, said, “Another four years!”
According to the Washington Post, Trump said the crowd’s response to his comments would elicit “controversy.”

They certainly did.
On Sunday, Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic US minority leader, said Trump was speaking about the third term, “trying to disrupt everyday Americans” by calling himself a monarch. Jeffries said these “outrageous” comments “deliberately unleash extremism.”
Trump “is not king,” Jeffries said in CNN coalition status. “I’m not flexing my knees, not now. And I’ll keep pointing out that he’s focusing on what’s wrong.”
Marin on Sunday claimed that Trump was joking about pursuing a third White House term, as Republicans are not going to do when Trump remains silent on the idea of unconstitutional.
“The President is such an interesting guy that you can find extreme humor when you sit down and visit with him,” Marin added. “At the same time, he can get fatally serious.”
