Trump brushes off reporter question about running for third term in 2028: ‘The law is very strong’
President Donald Trump said he would like to run again in 2028 but acknowledged that “the law is very strong” against a third presidential term. His remarks appear to play down continued speculation over whether he might seek to remain in office beyond the constitutional limit.
Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Tuesday night, Trump said he is frequently asked about 2028 and referred to supporters chanting the year at an event. The US Constitution’s 22nd Amendment bars anyone from being elected president more than twice, making a third elected term legally prohibited.
- Trump said the law prevents a third-term bid.
- He said he would “love to run” in 2028.
- The Constitution limits presidents to two elected terms.
