Trump Claims Right to Seek Third Term Despite Constitutional Restrictions, Says ‘They Cheated Us’
Trump said the Constitution leaves little room for interpretation, but he argued the 2020 election was stolen and he could seek a third term.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump teased a potential third-term bid at a Sioux City, Iowa rally, claiming he "has the right" to run again despite constitutional limitations.
- Trump argued that because he believes the 2020 election was stolen, the 22nd Amendment's two-term restriction should not apply to him, claiming "They cheated us on the second one because we won it three times."
- Facing record-low approval ratings, the President campaigned for GOP Iowa Senate hopeful Representative Ashley Hinson, with CNN and SSRS reporting 32 percent support among American adults as midterms approach.
- Supporters have frequently engaged with "Trump 2028" imagery, while allies have discussed ways he could remain in power beyond his term, despite the Amendment expressly forbidding a third election.
- Federal courts have repeatedly rejected his false claims that the 2020 election results were fraudulent, as the Constitution and the Amendment prohibit a third presidential term.
