The US Constitution prohibits presidents from running for a third term under the Twenty-Second Amendment.
To run for a third term, Trump would have to repeal this amendment, and that would be difficult. Reversing a constitutional amendment would require a significant level of support from Congress and state legislatures, which he would not be able to obtain.
The Twenty-Second Amendment strictly limits presidents to two successful candidates and applies equally to those elected to consecutive terms and those, like Trump, elected to non-consecutive terms. continuous
The amendment states: “No person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice, and no person who has been or has been President shall sit for more than two years in a term for which another person was elected as President. elected to the office of President more than once.”
The amendment was ratified in 1951 and came after years of both parties calling for presidential term limits.
