US President Donald Trump has sparked speculation about a potential third term in office after sharing an AI-generated image of himself holding a "Trump 2028, yes!" sign. The move has reignited debate over the US Constitution's 22nd Amendment, which prohibits a person from serving more than two terms as President. Although Trump has previously expressed interest in serving beyond the two-term limit, he has also acknowledged the constitutional barrier. In a statement, Trump said it was "too bad" that he couldn't seek a third term. He has also ruled out running for vice president in the 2028 elections. The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, states that "no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." This provision was introduced after President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to two additional terms, but died before completing a fourth term. Trump has repeatedly toyed with the idea of serving beyond the two-term limit, often joking about it at rallies and even selling "Trump 2028" merchandise. However, in a recent interview with NBC News, he stated that he was not eager to run for a third term and was focused on completing his current term. As the 2028 elections approach, Trump's suggestion of a potential presidential run has sparked intense debate over the US Constitution's two-term limit. While some see it as a clear-cut issue, others believe that the amendment's language is ambiguous and open to interpretation.
