Trump continues to sing a third term – even if the Constitution is forbidden
By Peter Nicholas
A Coterie in Donald Trump Lifolists is in the early part of a campaign to rewrite the Constitution so he can serve another term – an idea that no one has done discouraging.
As a candidate last year and since he took office, Trump liked, deaf, cared, fed, remained unable and serving one more time.
“Am I allowed to run again?” Trump said last month at a meeting of POUSE Republicans in Florida.
The Constitution is clear to that point: he is not. Under the 22nd change, no one can choose President more than twice. That rules the Trump.
Diehard supporters do not know, hope that is less than a little obstacle.
Rep. Rep. Andy, R-Tenn., A constitutional change is recommended to call limits in terms of presidency from 12 years to January 2033, when he was 86 years old.
And a poster shown to the political council’s council outside Washington, DC, at the end of the week “third term project” and shows the Trump of imperial Julius Caesar Garb.
“For Trump 2028 … and beyond!” It can read.
🤔 A serious or working bush?: Opinions differ about the severity of hope in the GOPs of legislators and former counselors who work with Trump before. There is a strong view that he simply trolls his critics – which hurt them by suggesting that he does not go.
“President Trump was joking about a third term like a chef who was making fun of a michelin star in his own restaurant -” Enjoy the Campaign of the Trump of 2020, told News News.
However others believe that if the Constitution has been modified in a third term, Trump will take the jump.
“If there is a procedure method to fulfill it, he is likely to think of it,” says Jenna Ellis, a 2020 lawyer in the trump campaign.
“That is a constitutional change, but we do not forget that the Constitution has been changed to inflict the limits of the term, and that may disappear,” Ellis added to an interview.
