Donald Trump's aspirations for a third term echo the actions of other global leaders who have extended their rule by altering term limits.


The article discusses a resolution introduced by Republican Congressman Barry Moore, which aims to honor former President Donald Trump by declaring him the "presumptive 2024 Republican nominee" and suggesting he could serve a third term. This proposal, however, faces significant constitutional and legal obstacles. The U.S. Constitution's 22nd Amendment explicitly limits a president to two terms, making Trump's third term legally impossible without a constitutional amendment, which requires a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states. Legal experts argue that this resolution is more symbolic than practical, serving as a political statement rather than a feasible legal change. The resolution has sparked debate, with critics viewing it as an attempt to undermine democratic norms, while supporters see it as recognizing Trump's influence within the Republican Party.
