Trump Sparks Controversy: 'Not Joking' About Seeking Third Term as US President

In a shocking revelation, US President Donald Trump has insisted that he is serious about seeking a third term in office, despite the US Constitution's clear prohibition on such a move. Speaking in a phone interview with NBC News on Sunday, Trump addressed speculation about his intentions, stating, "No, I'm not joking. I'm not joking." However, he added that it's "far too early to think about it" 

The US Constitution's 22nd Amendment explicitly limits presidents to two four-year terms, whether consecutive or not. The amendment states, "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." Trump's comments have sparked controversy and raised questions about potential legal or political avenues he might explore to circumvent this constitutional limit.

When asked about a scenario where his running mate, Vice President JD Vance, could assume office before stepping aside to allow him to take over, Trump acknowledged the possibility, saying, "That's one" approach, but hinted that there are others as well. 

While some constitutional experts argue that the 22nd Amendment only prohibits a president from being elected to a third term, but not from serving as president through other means, such as assuming the office after the vice president, others contend that this interpretation is far-fetched and unlikely to hold up in court. 

As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Trump's comments have ignited a firestorm of speculation and controversy, with many wondering what he has in mind for his potential third term.
