US President Donald Trump has again hinted at the possibility of running for president for a third time.
The US Constitution does not permit anyone to be elected
president more than twice.
Trump spoke with House Republicans at a gathering on Monday.
“I’ve raised a lot of money for the next race that I assume I can’t use for myself, but I’m not 100 percent sure,” he said.
“I think I’m not allowed to run again.”
“Am I allowed to run again?” he continued, prodding Mike
Johnson, house speaker. “Mike, I better not get you involved in that”.
Johnson, a former constitutional lawyer, chuckled at Trump’s
comments. Other lawmakers at the event also had a good laugh about it all.
Trump previously dismissed insinuations that he would seek a
third term. However, after winning the 2024 presidential election, he
light-heartedly hinted that he would be open to a third term during a chat with
Republican lawmakers.
“I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you do
something,” Trump had said.
“Unless you say, ‘he’s so good, we have to just figure it
out.’”
Last week, Andy Ogles, a Republican house member, introduced
a bill seeking to allow Trump to run for a third term.
Ogles said Trump “has proven himself to be the only figure
in modern history” capable of “restoring America to greatness”.
