Trump Talks Again About Wanting to Be US President for 3 Terms, but the Law is Very Strict

JAKARTA - US leader Donald Trump has expressed his desire to run for a third term as president of the United States, but the country's laws on this matter are very strict.

"I really want to run, but the rules are very strict," he said at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, as reported by TASS, Wednesday, August 12.

According to his view, "everyone wants" him to do this.

Under the law, Trump's second term as president is scheduled to end in January 2029. The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, passed in 1951, limits presidential terms to two terms.

Nevertheless, the current US leader has repeatedly hinted at the possibility of running for a third term.

Trump won the general election for the second time in November 2024. He defeated the Democratic Party candidate, Kamala Harris. Previously, he led the US government from 2017 to 2021.
