I am not joking about seeking a third state at the White House

US President Donald Trump said he is not joking about seeking to occupy a third term, in the clearest indication that he is considering ways to bypass a constitutional barrier that prevents him from continuing to lead the country after the end of his second term in early 2029.
“There are ways to do so, but it is very early to think about it,” Trump said in an interview on the phone with the NBC network.
The 22nd amendment, which was added to the American constitution in 1951 after the election of President Franklin d. Roosevelt 4 consecutive periods, that “no one may be elected to the position of president more than twice.”

Legal doubt

It is noteworthy that any attempt to stay in the position will be legal doubt and it is not clear how serious Trump is to seek this goal.
However, these statements are an extraordinary expression of the desire to preserve power by a president who violated democratic traditions 4 years ago when he tried to reverse the elections he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
“This is another escalatory step in his clear efforts to seize the government and destroy our democracy,” said Democratic Deputy from New York Daniel Goldman, who worked as a major adviser to Trump’s first trial.
“If the Republicans in Congress believe in the constitution, they must publicly decide to oppose Trump’s aspirations in a third period.”

Credible legal arguments

Steve Bannon, the former strategy of Trump, who runs the right -wing “War Chamber”, called for the president to run again during a speech at the conservative political work conference last month.
He said: “We want Trump in 2028.”
“There are no credible legal arguments that allow him to run for a third period,” said Jeremy Paul, a professor of constitutional law at North Eston University in Boston.

Trump loves to work

In response to a question by Krieston Wilker, a NBC journalist about whether one of the possible ways to obtain a third term is that Vice President JD Vans run for the presidency and then “convey the flame” later, Trump said: “This is one, but there are also other options.”
In response to her question, “Can you tell me in another way?” Trump replied, “No.”
And whether he wants to continue to take over “the most difficult job in the country” at the age of 82 at the end of his second term, the president said: “Well, I love to work.”
Trump indicated that the Americans may agree to take over a third term because of his popularity.
