Trump Won't Secure a Third Term in Office, Potential Successor In View - Donald Trump rejects the idea of a third term, seeking instead a suitable successor.
In a shocking turn, U.S. president Donald Trump, a Republican, expressed his desires to break the two-term presidency tradition and strive for a third term in the White House. Though this aspirations are legally barrier-ridden, Trump's signature slogan "Trump 2028" available on his official online store indicates a hint of seriousness. However, in a recent NBC interview, Trump hinted at the hurdles preventing his third term, emphasizing the intention was taken seriously.
Despite his flirtation with the idea of a third term, the U.S. Constitution's 22nd Amendment presents a significant roadblock. To bypass this, Trump would require a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or support from 60 percent of the states, which is considered highly unlikely due to the current majority ratios. Any attempts to change the Constitution would have to be ratified by at least a quarter of the U.S. states, another arduous task.
Realizing the improbability of his third term, Trump has been considerate of his political legacy and potential successors. In the NBC interview, he stated that he will serve a Maximum of four terms with his "four fantastic years" followed by a "great Republican" to continue his work.
Among the potential candidates, Marco Rubio, Trump's current Secretary of State, has been highlighted. With his recent appointments leading USAID agency, the National Archives, and a temporary stint as National Security Advisor, Rubio has proven his worth in Trump's eyes. Trump's faith in Rubio is unwavering; he has mentioned that Rubio is a "fantastic, brilliant guy."
Another key figure in Trump's potential succession plans is JD Vance, currently serving as Vice President. Vance, who Trump has acclaimed for doing a "fantastic job," has also been discussed as a strong contender for the 2028 presidential election.
It is important to note that these individuals are not vying for succession during Trump's current term but are potential candidates who could carry forward Trump's political legacy in the future.
Legal scholars have already been discussing possible ways Trump could redefine the traditional presidential term limits, focusing on his history of pushing boundaries and political norms. However, Democrats remain skeptical of Trump's intentions, fearing he may seek alternative means to remain in power longer.
