In a Fox News interview on New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast, President Donald Trump said he would be interested in running for a third term if the Constitution allowed it. He explained that he “would love to run again if I had the chance, but the language of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution that limits presidents to two elected terms in office is very exacting,” according to TASS. The president also noted that he has two years left in his current term, adding, “That’s a long time. You can do a lot in that period of time.”
Trump’s remarks come after his successful reelection in November 2024, when he secured a second term that will end in January 2029. The 22nd Amendment, adopted in 1951, explicitly limits presidents to two elected terms, a restriction that has been cited by Trump and his supporters in discussions about the possibility of a third term. Trump has repeatedly suggested his continued interest in seeking reelection for a third term, although presidents are legally barred from serving more than two terms. The statement was repeated by TASS in a July 2014 report that has since been updated to reflect the 2024 election and the president’s ongoing term.
