"If you read it, it's pretty clear, Trump told reporters on Wednesday on board Air Force One while en route from Japan to South Korea. I'm not allowed to run. It's too bad."
"Based on what I read, I guess I'm not allowed to run, he said on Wednesday. So we'll see what happens."
"It's been a great run, but I think the president knows, and he and I've talked about, the constrictions of the constitution, Johnson said."
"Changing that with a new amendment would be a decade-long process that requires winning over states and votes in Congress."
President Donald Trump acknowledged the US Constitution prevents him from running for a third presidential term and expressed regret at that limit. He said he was not allowed to run and called the restriction "too bad." The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms, and Trump began his second term in January. Changing the amendment would require a lengthy process of congressional approval and state ratifications. Former strategist Steve Bannon reportedly drafted a plan to enable an additional term. House Speaker Mike Johnson said constitutional constrictions make a third term impossible. Supporters circulated Trump 2028 merchandise and discussed alternative strategies involving Vice President JD Vance.
