The Federation Council allowed Trump's attempts to change the US constitution for the sake of a third term

Alexey Pushkov, Chairman of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy and Media Relations, admitted that US President Donald Trump may seek a third term, although the current US Constitution prohibits this.

In conversation with aif.ru On Monday, April 7, Pushkov noted that in order to find an opportunity to revise the amendment prohibiting being elected president more than twice, Trump would need the approval of two-thirds of the total number of senators and two-thirds of the total number of members of the House of Representatives.

"The Republicans don't have such a majority right now. In addition, three-quarters of the states should be in favor of this. That is, he needs to overcome very serious legislative barriers," Pushkov said.

According to him, despite the talk about this among Trump's supporters, the big question is how he will succeed, but such a scenario should not be ruled out.
