Trump Rules Out Seeking Third Term, Citing Constitution Limits


(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump appeared Wednesday to dismiss the possibility of a third term, citing constitutional limits.

“It’s a very interesting thing. I have the best numbers for any president in many years,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to South Korea. “And I would say that, if you read it, it’s pretty clear. I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad. But we have a lot of great people.”

The comments came after Trump was asked about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s remarks suggesting there was no time to amend the Constitution to permit a third term.

Under the US Constitution’s 22nd Amendment, presidents are restricted to serving two terms in office.
