Trump Floats Fourth Term Idea, Sparks Constitutional Debate Amid Mixed Approval

  • Donald Trump publicly questioned seeking a fourth term on Truth Social, sparking debate over constitutional limits.
  • His suggestion contradicts the 22nd Amendment, which limits US presidents to two elected terms.
  • Trump has previously hinted at extending his time in office, treating the 2020 election as an 'interruption'.
  • Recent polls (AP-NORC, NYT/Siena) show mixed to negative approval ratings for Trump's performance, economy, and policies.
  • Trump threatened legal action against The New York Times over unfavorable poll results, accusing them of 'radical left lies'.

Why It Matters: Trump's suggestion of a fourth term challenges constitutional limits, despite mixed public approval ratings.
