Washington: In a big remark made to House Republicans on Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump reportedly hinted at the possibility of serving a constitution-defying third term. Speaking to his supporters gathered at a hotel in downtown Washington just ahead of his second term, Trump playfully suggested he might be willing to run once more.
“I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s good, we got to figure something else,’” Trump remarked, eliciting some laughter from the crowd.
For the unversed, the US Constitution, through the 22nd Amendment ratified in 1951, limits presidents to two elected terms. Overturning this restriction would require a constitutional amendment, which is a complex process needing the approval of two-thirds of both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states, according to Voice of America.
