US President Donald Trump expressed on Monday that he would "love" to run against former President Barack Obama in the 2028 election, despite the constitutional restriction that limits presidents to two terms.
US President Donald Trump stated on Monday that he would "love" to face former President Barack Obama in a hypothetical 2028 election for a third term, despite it being prohibited by the Constitution.
"I’d love that. That would be a good one. I’d like that," Trump said to reporters in the Oval Office when asked about the potential matchup.
"No people are asking me to run, and there's a whole story about running for a third term. I don't know. I never looked into it. They do say there's a way you can do it, but I don't know about that, but I have not looked into it. I want to do a fantastic job. We have four years...It's still close to four years," he added.
According to the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution, no person can be elected to the presidency more than twice, regardless of whether the terms are consecutive. Trump is currently in his second term, and some of his supporters have suggested that a third term could be possible through succession rather than election.
However, amending the Constitution to remove the prohibition of the 22nd Amendment would be extremely difficult, requiring a two-thirds majority in both chambers of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states.
