Tuesday, January 28, 2025 - US President, Donald Trump has said he isn’t “100% sure” that he cannot run for a third term as president.
“I’ve raised a lot of money
for the next race, that I assume I can’t use for myself, but I’m not 100%
sure,” Trump said Monday, January 27 at the House Republican Members Conference
dinner in Doral, Florida.
He added a moment of lighthearted uncertainty, asking
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, “I’m not sure, am I allowed to run again,
Mike? I better not get you involved in that.”
This is not the first time Trump has hinted at the
possibility of seeking three terms in office. In an appearance last Sunday in
Las Vegas, Nevada, he remarked, “It will be the greatest honour of my life to
serve not once, but twice or three times,”
US Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee has spoken about
amending the US Constitution to permit Trump to run for a third term. But it’s
difficult to amend the Constitution, which hasn’t been changed since the 27th
Amendment was ratified in 1992.
Formally proposing an amendment requires either a two-thirds
vote in the House of Representatives and Senate, Republicans do not hold enough
seats to pass it — or via a constitutional convention, which hasn’t been held
since the 18th century. Then, to ratify a new amendment, three-fourths of state
legislatures (so 38 states) would need to approve it.
At the conference dinner, Trump reiterated his fondness for
Tiktok app and his preference that it be sold by its Chinese-based parent
company, ByteDance.
“China won’t be involved,” he
said while insisting “a lot of people” are seeking to purchase the platform.
