Donald Trump's assertion of a right to run for a third presidential term is in direct conflict with the 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two terms.

❗️ Donald #Trump has stated that he believes he is entitled to run for a third presidential term, as he believes the 2020 election was fraudulent. "We were cheated in the second election, because we won three times. Therefore, I believe I have the right to run again," he said during a speech in Iowa. However, Trump acknowledged that the Constitution likely prohibits him from running again. According to the 22nd Amendment, a person cannot be elected President of the United States more than twice.

Trump again invokes claim he has the ‘right’ to run for president again. The US constitution unequivocally states that he can’t, which he knows. “I think I have the right to run again because they cheated,” Trump added with a coy smile, drawing applause from the crowd. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/23/trump-third-term?utm_medium=d_social
