Trump Suggests He Will Leave Office in 8 or 9 Years
Trump’s remark drew criticism as constitutional experts said a third term would require a constitutional amendment.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump jokingly suggested at a White House business summit that his tenure could extend to eight or nine years, drawing laughter from the assembled audience.
- Trump hosted the gathering for National Small Business Week with more than 130 business leaders, and made the remark while discussing tax deductions in the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' legislation.
- The Twenty-Second Amendment of the Constitution states that 'No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,' making Trump ineligible to run again after his current term concludes in early 2029.
- Social media reactions split sharply; critics characterized the comment as 'Dictatorship unlocked,' while some supporters praised the 'transparency,' though others expressed concern at the audience's laughter.
- Changing term limits would require a constitutional amendment needing a two-thirds majority in Congress and ratification by three-quarters of states, though Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of extending his tenure.
