The media talked about the possibility of Trump being in power until 2037
US President Donald Trump may be in power until 2037 due to a loophole in the 22nd Amendment to the country's constitution. This was reported by the Daily Mail on March 29.
As specified in the publication, this possibility arises due to discrepancies in the interpretation of this amendment: it prohibits re-election only for a president who has been elected twice, but does not regulate the situation of returning to office in the event of the resignation or death of another president.
"Trump could run for vice president, and [U.S. Vice President J.D.] Vance, as an openly acknowledged figurehead, would top the list. After being sworn in, Vance may resign, allowing his vice president, Trump, to take over his post. The same procedure can be used in several elections," the article says.
To win a fourth term, Trump will simply have to step down from the presidency before the 2032 elections and become the running mate of a nominee for president, whether it's Vance or someone else, the newspaper noted.
Earlier, on January 24, Pavel Feldman, Candidate of Political Sciences, professor at the Academy of Labor and Social Relations, called the probability of Trump running for a third term negligible. He noted that by the time his term ends, he will be 82 years old.
On January 20, Trump took the oath of office, becoming the 47th president of the United States. This is his second presidential term, the first time he was an American leader in 2017-2021. In his inaugural address, the new Trump announced the beginning of America's "golden age."
