President Donald Trump has returned to the White House for only more than 100 days and is already considering his third term. This concept is ridiculous throughout much of America's history.

About a century ago, historian John Bach McMaster investigated the 138 years of the presidency and carried out hazards on the page. Atlantic: "If a president who was elected twice seeks a third election, he will definitely encounter a huge opposition, because the doctrine of the Three is still very powerful."

Within 13 years, he will be proved to be wrong. In 1940, Franklin D. As writer Gerald W. Johnson observed in the second year, 27 million voters “trampled on the sacred third tradition of Thithero in order to re-overthrow the chief new dealer.”

Roosevelt did not violate the law when seeking his third term. The two presidential restrictions were merely a custom when George Washington voluntarily resigned after eight years of office. The two presidents (Ulysses S. Grant in 1880) and FDR's fifth cousin, Theodore Roosevelt, in 1912, had previously tried (and failed) to return to the third White House. Roosevelt's victory was not surprising, and the readers of the magazine were certainly not surprised at the time. J. Frederick Essary's prediction is just J. Frederick Essary's second term, which will be much better than McMaster's prediction: "If Mr. Roosevelt runs for the third time,"

But no president will do it again. Roosevelt won his fourth term in 1944 because the country chose not to replace its commander during World War II. The deterioration of the president's health is unknown to the public, and he died less than three months after his fourth inauguration in April 1945. His death and shortly after the war, debates on whether to formalize what McMaster calls “laws that are not related to the laws of the Republic” were resumed. The founders of the United States have considered limiting the term of the original constitution as a way to prevent a president of aspiring to be too king. This argument gained new momentum after Roosevelt died after his tenure and had just fought a war to defeat the dictator in Europe. In 1951, the states approved the Twenty Seconds Amendment, which said: "No one shall be elected president more than twice."

Such a tec ban seems to rule out President Donald Trump's third term. But that didn't stop him or his biggest supporters from musing on the possibility of another game in 2028. "I'm not kidding," he told NBC News last month. "There are some ways to do it." (As if to prove it, or to criticize his critics, the official retail website of Trump is now on sale Trump 2028 hat. ) When my colleague Ashley Parker asked Trump about a possible third semester last week, he said it wasn't something I wanted to do. "But he was obviously interested in the idea: "That would be big, isn't it?" ”

To achieve the Twenty Second Amendment, Trump's allies have come up with the idea that he can run for JD Vance's vice president in the next election. If Vance wins, he may resign, thus preventing President Trump from being “elected” the office more than twice. (However, the Twelfth Amendment seems to cut off that path because it states: “No one is constitutionally ineligible to the Presidential Office.

If the Supreme Court blinks, the decision on whether Trump’s two term is enough will fall on voters. The president has never been as popular as Roosevelt had in the White House. However, if history is a guide, it is wrong to assume that the public will automatically maintain long-lasting restrictions. Just ask Essary: ​​"It's hard to believe that people are very concerned about the third semester itself," he wrote in 1937. "Nothing in our experience as a country can prove that they do care; and, more, it shows that ordinary people pay little attention to this issue." About ninety years later, Trump might be willing to bet.
