Trump Says He'd 'Love To Run' for 2028 Third Term

Trump Says He'd 'Love To Run' for 2028 Third Term

In the United States, one person usually gets to be the president for no more than two times.

This rule is called the 22nd Amendment, and it was added to the Constitution in 1951 after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times.

President Donald Trump has already been elected twice, in 2016 and 2024.

He says he would really like to run again in 2028.

But he knows that the law is very strong and normally stops that from happening.

He said a lot of people ask him about it, and supporters at events shout '2028.'

Changing the rule would be very hard.

It would need a new amendment to the Constitution, approved by many members of Congress or state legislatures and then most of the states.

So for now, President Trump says he can't run again because the law is very strong.
