President mentions that “many people” support the possibility of their reelection, despite constitutional restrictions
United States President Donald Trump (Republican) expressed his intention to seek a 3rd presidential term. The statement was made during an interview with on Sunday (30.mar.2025). For this, he would need to circumvent the constitutional rule that limits the presidency to 2 mandates.
“I’m not kidding”Trump said, when asked about the seriousness of his intentions. “A lot of people want me to do this”. He mentioned the existence of “Methods” which would allow a 3rd term, but did not specify them. Since his inauguration, Trump has implemented decrees to promote changes in the federal government.
Changing the United States Constitution to allow a 3rd presidential mandate requires the support of a majority of 2/3 in the House of Representatives and Senate. The United States Constitution has never been changed through a constitutional convention; All 27 amendments were approved by Congress.
A possible strategy would involve Vice President JD Vance applying for presidency to take office, renounce and make room for Trump to take over power. The president admitted to consider this method, adding that “There are others”.
