US President Donald Trump has recently claimed to become President for the third time and he said, ‘I am not joking.’ His statement has created a stir in the whole world, because according to the US Constitution, any person can only be selected for the presidency.
In such a situation, the question arises whether Trump really intends to become President for the third time, or is it just another joke of him?
What does Trump say?
In fact, in an interview with NBC News on Sunday i.e. March 30, Trump said that there are some ways that can be opened for the third time to become President ‘. However, he also said that ‘it is very early to think about it’. With this statement, Trump also clarified that he was not only joking, but is doing something serious.
Constitution limits and trump views
The 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution, which came into force in 1951, does not allow any President to contest more than two terms. This amendment was brought after four terms of Franklin D. Roosevelt, so that no President remains in power for a long time in future.
When Trump was asked whether the limit could be bypassed by the nomination of Vice President JD Vance and later resigning, he said, “This may be a way, but there are other ways.” When he was asked about other methods, he became silent and did not say anything.
Is it true?
Trump’s statement was definitely shocking, because he has already bounced such things as a joke. For example, while talking to the Republican House in January, he jokingly asked, ‘Can I stand again in the election?’ But this time there was some seriousness in his words. Are he really looking for a legal way to extend his term?
However, experts believe that this will be a violation of the Constitution and it is very difficult to do so, Trump’s statement has sparked a new debate on this issue.
