By 2020, while campaigning for reelection in Reno, Nevada, Trump told his followers that he was going to win the state and “win four more years in the White House,” before adding: “We’re probably – based on the way we were treated – we’re probably entitled to another four after that.”.
Congressional Democrats have proposed a measure to clarify that the 22nd Amendment expressly forbids a third term in office, and 78-year-old Trump, the oldest U.S. president in history, has at times admitted defeat to the constitutional guardrails he’s up against, despite his rhetoric.
Despite Trump bucking constitutional guardrails in his first presidency, he would face a tall order in getting a constitutional amendment through Congress to try to secure a third term.
In November, New York Representative Dan Goldman introduced a resolution affirming that the 22nd Amendment would bar Trump from a third term.
When Trump was pressed on whether he believes he can serve a third term, the president said he doesn’t want one.
