President Donald Trump has once again raised the idea of serving a third term, stating he is “not 100 percent sure” the Constitution prevents him from doing so, despite the 22nd Amendment clearly limiting presidents to two terms.

Speaking to Congressional Republicans in Miami, Trump remarked, “I’ve raised a lot of money for the next race that I assume I can’t use for myself, but I’m not 100 percent sure... I think I’m not allowed to run again.” Turning to Republican House Leader Mike Johnson, he quipped, “Am I allowed to run again, Mike? I better not get you involved in that argument.”

Trump, who was inaugurated for his second, non-consecutive term a week ago, has frequently joked about extending his presidency. During a Nevada rally, he laughed as he told supporters, “It’ll be the greatest honor of my life to serve not once, but twice—or three times or four times,” prompting cheers and mockingly referencing “fake news” headlines.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951 after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unprecedented four-term presidency, limits U.S. presidents to two terms. However, a Republican in the House recently proposed a long-shot resolution to amend the Constitution and allow Trump to run again.

Trump has repeatedly alluded to breaking the two-term limit. At a November gathering of House Republicans, he said, “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s good, we got to figure something else.’”

In July, speaking to a group of conservative Christians, Trump encouraged them to vote, saying, “Christians, get out and vote. Just this time… Four more years, it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore.”

While often presented in a light-hearted manner, Trump’s remarks have sparked ongoing debate and speculation about his ambitions.
