IN THE MAKING: Can Donald Trump Run for President in 2028?
The short answer is no (sorry MAGA), at least not without a change to the constitution. So in this episode of America: A History in the Making, I explore the main constitutional barriers to a Trump third term, and why changing this would be almost impossible in just three years.
Let us know in the comments what you think:
Do you want Trump to run again in 2028?
Should he be allowed?
Who do you think the Republican nominee contenders are?
...
Highlights from this episode:
- In this episode, we delve into the implications of Donald Trump's potential third presidential run in 2028 and the constitutional barriers that exist.
- We clarify that the 22nd Amendment restricts any individual from being elected for more than two terms as president, creating significant legal challenges.
- Our discussion includes Trump's recent comments suggesting JD Vance as a likely Republican nominee, highlighting the shifting dynamics within the MAGA movement.
- We explore the argument that Trump could run for vice president, but we detail why this is constitutionally problematic and unlikely to succeed.
- The episode emphasizes that there is no legal route for Trump to regain the presidency, addressing concerns among both supporters and critics alike.
- We conclude that unless significant legal changes occur, Donald Trump will not be president after 2028, which is a critical point for understanding future elections.
