#DonaldTrump keeping open the idea of running and/or serving for a third term, doesn't know or conveniently ignores that it was his own party who amended the presidential term limit to the Constitution in 1947 to prevent Franklin D. Roosevelt to run for a fifth(!) term.

The reality is, he can't as the #TwentySecondAmendmentToTheUnitedStatesConstitution prohibits this. The be able to, it would need another amendment to the Constitution, which would require a ¾ vote in both the senate and the house as well ¾ of the states (38 states), which is just not achievable in the current political climate.

"In January 2025, Representative Andy Ogles introduced a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment that would allow a president to serve a third term, provided that their first two are non-consecutive. The language of the bill was intended to specifically allow incumbent president #DonaldTrump to serve a third term, as he is the only living president to serve non-consecutive terms"
