Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Trump won the 2024 election by a wide margin against Democratic candidate and then-Vice President Kamala Harris, becoming the second president in US history to serve two non-consecutive terms.
53% : Trump made the remarks during a phone call from Mar-a-Lago, in what are his most direct comments yet on the possibility of extending his presidency beyond 2029.
51% : His political adviser Steve Bannon recently told NewsNation that Trump could "run and win again in 2028," hinting at possible legal maneuvers.
49% : Earlier this year, Republican Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a constitutional amendment that would allow a president to serve three non-consecutive terms, though it has so far gained little traction.
47% : The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, ratified in 1951 following President Franklin D. Roosevelt's unprecedented four elections, states: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." Pressed to clarify whether he had been presented with any specific plans to bypass the limit, Trump replied: "There are - not plans - but there are methods which you could do it, as you know." "I'm not joking," Trump added, though he noted that "it is far too early to think about it." Asked about a hypothetical scenario in which Vice President J.D. Vance could run for president and then hand over the office to him, Trump confirmed, "That's one." "But there are others too," he hinted, without elaborating further.
