U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out the possibility of seeking a third term in office, saying he is “not allowed” to do so under the country’s constitution.Speaking on Wednesday, Trump acknowledged the two-term limit imposed by the 22nd Amendment, which restricts presidents from serving more than two terms.
“I’m not allowed to run for a third term, even if I wanted to,” Trump said, emphasizing that he intends to respect the constitutional provision.His comments come amid renewed discussions among political observers about his future plans following his return to the White House. Trump, who previously served from 2017 to 2021, reclaimed the presidency in 2024 after defeating incumbent Joe Biden.Despite speculation from some supporters urging him to extend his time in office, Trump made it clear that he would adhere strictly to constitutional limits.
