United States President, Donald Trump, on Monday, 31 March, 2025, said Americans want him to run for another term, a step banned by the US constitution but which he continues describing as possible.
Trump stated this while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office about the possibility of a third term.
“People are asking me to run. I don’t know. I never looked into it. They do say there’s a way you can do it, but I don’t know about that, but I have not looked into it,” Trump said.
The 78-year-old Republican served from 2017 to 2021 and began his second term in the White House on January 20, 2025.
It was gathered that the first US president, George Washington, established a tradition by not seeking a third term after completing his second one in 1797.
However, the tradition was reportedly not formally added to the US constitution until after World War II, with the ratification of the 22nd amendment in 1951.
