Trump's Third Term Ambitions Stir Debate

Former President Donald Trump has reignited discussions about potentially pursuing a third term, despite the 22nd Amendment barring more than two terms as president. Trump stated in a recent NBC interview that he was 'not joking' about seeking another term and mentioned 'methods' to bypass the constitutional limit, although legal experts and constitutional scholars dismiss these as impractical. His comments have sparked concerns about a direct challenge to constitutional norms, with some viewing it as a 'constitutional threat.' While some of Trump's allies have floated proposals to repeal the 22nd Amendment, such changes would face significant legislative hurdles. Despite this, many lawmakers and analysts believe such an attempt would be largely symbolic and legally untenable.
