Summary
Donald Trump refused to rule out seeking a third term as president, telling NBC News there are “methods” to do so and emphasizing, “I’m not joking.”
Though the 22nd Amendment bars presidents from serving more than two terms, Trump suggested possible workarounds, including a VP succession plan.
He cited strong poll support and added, “a lot of people want me to do it.”
Allies like Rep. Andy Ogles and Steve Bannon back the idea. Amending term limits would require a complex constitutional process.
The issue in Ukraine is twofold.
The country is under martial law, which forbids elections and 20% of the country’s electorate is under foreign occupation in wartime. Thus poisoning any election result because 1/5th of the territory’s people didnt get to vote.
the US presumably, would not have the second problem
