Donald Trump hints at a third presidential run, despite the US Constitution limiting presidents to two terms. He claims there are ways to make it happen.
On March 31, 2024, the 78-year-old former president sparked speculation about another presidential bid. Many people, he says, want him to run again.
Trump says a third term is not a joke. He believes it’s possible, but doesn’t give details. He acknowledges that changing the Constitution to allow him to run again won’t be easy. It needs a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate.
Trump has almost four years, which is a long time. Many people think he should run again because they like his work.
If he can’t change the Constitution through Congress, Trump says there are other ways. One option is for his vice president, J.D. Vance, to run and then resign, allowing Trump to take over. Trump won’t discuss other plans.
To change the Constitution without Congress, Trump needs two-thirds of the 50 states to support a constitutional convention. Then, three-fourths of all states must approve it. This process is complex and unlikely to happen in today’s political climate.
Some people think Trump’s ideas are far-fetched. Others believe he’s serious about a third term. Only time will tell what Trump will do next.
