Ambassador Arjan: Donald Trump has once again spoken about his desire to run for the third term of the American presidency; A request that contradicts the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution of this country and is raised in a situation where the Republicans are facing the risk of losing the majority in the Congress.

US President Donald Trump responded to the slogan "Four more years" in a gathering of supporters of the Republican Party in the state of Ohio and on the eve of the congressional mid-term elections in November, he said that he wants to run for the third term of the presidency. Trump's second term ends in January 2029, and the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, which was adopted in 1951, limits the presidency to two terms. However, Trump has repeatedly raised the possibility of seeking a third term. Steve Bannon, Trump's former political adviser, also emphasized the need for his re-election last fall. This request of Trump and his supporters, in addition to contradicting the US Constitution, is at a time when the level of dissatisfaction with his performance among most Americans on the eve of the congressional elections has jeopardized the fate of his party, and it is predicted that the Republicans will lose the majority of at least one house of Congress, in which case Trump's hands will be tied in the remaining two years of his presidency to advance his plans.
