    President Donald Trump has floated the idea of him pursuing a third presidency immediately after his current one, despite a lot of questions it can raise about constitutionality. For analyst and broadcaster Stephen A. Smith, the idea of him declaring such intention this early is “inexcusable.”

    In one of the recent episodes of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” the ESPN analyst and broadcaster got honest about his thoughts on President Donald Trump thinking of pursuing a third presidency run.

    “Now let me get to what Trump said there,” Smith said. “What he said was appalling. he’d entertained running for a third term, he’s not ruling it out.”

    “It’s inexcusable stuff,” he added. “And the reason why it’s inexcusable is because as the 22nd amendment stipulates the presidency is something that you can only have for two terms, that’s it.”

    The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution explicitly limits a president to serving two elected terms. Ratified in 1951, this amendment was introduced after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unprecedented four-term presidency, which raised concerns about the concentration of power and long-term rule. The amendment states that no person can be elected to the presidency more than twice, ensuring a regular turnover of leadership and safeguarding democratic principles.

    While President Donald Trump has floated ideas about potential loopholes or alternative routes to a third term, legal experts widely agree that the 22nd Amendment makes such a bid unconstitutional.

    White House Press Secretary Defends Donald Trump

    Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, recently addressed reporters’ reactions to President Donald Trump’s comments about a potential third term, suggesting that their concerns were exaggerated.

    She emphasized that Trump had answered questions about this topic “honestly and candidly with a smile,” criticizing journalists for their perceived overreaction to his remarks.

    “You guys continue to ask the president this question about a third term and then he answers honestly and candidly with a smile and then everybody here melts down about his answer,” Leavitt told reporters.

    She echoed the same sentiments in an appearance on Fox News.

    ‘It’s funny to me that journalists ask the president this question. He gives an honest and candid answer, and then they spiral about his answer,’ Leavitt said.

    Trump’s musings about serving beyond two terms sparked widespread concern due to his refusal to concede the 2020 election and his controversial role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. While the Constitution prohibits presidents from serving more than two terms, Trump has floated the idea in recent interviews, reigniting debates about democratic norms and the limits of presidential power.
