U.S. President Donald Trump once again hinted at the idea of serving a third term, saying he was “not 100 percent sure” he was barred from doing so under the Constitution, which forbids it.

      There’s a proposed amendment that would permit a person to be elected president for a third term, but not if they have already served two consecutive terms. It’s literally written so that Trump could run for a third term but Obama couldn’t.

        Someone who hasnt won 2 consecutive terms would be more unpopular than someone who has

        Would it even be possible to argue for this?

        It already says he’s not qualified to be president.

        The wording is no person shall be “elected” of Trump claims he won the last term too he is not legally entitled to be in office and that bill wouldn’t change that fact.
