The maelstrom that surrounds Donald Trump and his second stage as president of the United States is reading for his acolytes with euphoria. The commercial war with Europe and China Not only hasn’t he weakened his figure, but has reinforced it within the circles of a Republican party that has increasingly shaped around his figure. So much so that a current has begun so that It is presented to a third mandate That, according to the US Constitution, is prohibited.
The 45th and 47th team president of the United States has been working on it for some time. In a supposedly ironic and humorous tone, Trump himself already suggests that he can do it.
But when Steve Bannonhis former trusted strategist, released a “What do Trump think in 2028?” To the Republican Youth Club of New York and the 1,000 attendees exploded in cheers and applause, the matter began to take a more serious look. Between bambalins, in addition, R has already been heldEunions with legislators To check if, really, it can happen.
To add more gunpowder, now one of the president’s children has entered the campaign. Eric Trumpthe third rod of the former entrepreneur, has posed smiling with a cap with a clear message: ‘Trump 2028’. The image has been shared from the X account of their political campaign, ‘Trump War Room’.
Can Trump appear to a third mandate? What the Constitution says
Only a president of the United States has had a third term: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The Democrat was chosen four times, 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944, and ruled from 1933 until his death in 1945. At that time there was no constitutional limit of mandates, so he could present himself and gain more than twice, especially in the context of the great depression and the Second World War when he enjoyed enormous popularity.
Fearing a perpetuation in the power of a president, the approval of the 22nd amendment was promoted, which is clear: «No person can be elected to the position of president more than twice, And no person who has held the position of president, or acted as such for more than two years of a mandate for which another person was elected president, may be elected to the position of president more than once ».
Trump doesn’t have it easy … but much less impossible. It would have to boost another constitutional amendment, which requires a two -thirds majority in Congress and the ratification of 38 of the 51 states. In the November 2024 elections, Trump won at 30.
