Donald Trump has declared he would "like to be the next president" in a brazen comment made during a media call with reporters at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Washington.
"All know is, I'd like to be the next president," Trump said, in the jaw dropping moment.
"I'm going to make somebody look very good. They're going to sit there and [all of] this stuff is going to be opening, and they're going to be saying what a genius they are."
Constitutional bar on third term
As per the US Constitution, a president cannot be elected beyond two four-year terms. This restriction was established by the 22nd Amendment, which was ratified in 1951 following Franklin D. Roosevelt's election to four consecutive terms. The amendment officially enshrined in law a two-term tradition that had been followed since George Washington stepped down after his second term.
