Washington, USA – Mike Johnson, Speaker of the US House of Representatives from Louisiana, said he sees no legal way that would allow President Donald Trump to run for a third presidential state.
This is a direct response to the idea that Trump has repeatedly floated in recent months,
despite the fact that the US Constitution clearly prohibits it.
In remarks reported by the Washington Post, Johnson emphasized that the 22nd Amendment to
the US Constitution prohibits any president from holding office more than twice.
He pointed out that this constitutional text is “decisive and leaves no room for interpretation.”
He added that respect for the Constitution is the foundation of the American republican system,
and it cannot be disregarded for any political reason.
Johnson’s statement comes after Trump hinted at the possibility of seeking
a third state during a campaign rally in Ohio.
On the grounds that what he was subjected to during his first term “was unfair,”
referring to the investigations that targeted his administration at the time.
His statements sparked widespread controversy within political and legal circles,
with some considering them a propaganda speech directed at his supporters.
Some saw it as a test of the Republican Party’s commitment to the Constitution.
Observers believe that the Speaker of the House’s stance represents a clear in
dication of the Republican Party leadership’s adherence to constitutional principles.
Especially given the party’s efforts to present itself as an institutional alternative
that maintains the stability of the American system,
At a time when Trump is preparing to run for the 2028 presidential election.
This issue is expected to remain a focus of discussion in
the American political landscape in the coming period.
Especially with Trump continuing to make controversial statements
about the Constitution and the upcoming elections.
