当地时间周二晚间，总统唐纳德·特朗普回避了一名记者关于他2028年竞选第三任期可能性的提问，称“法律规定非常明确”。
“每个人都在问我这个问题，你也知道相关法律对此有明确规定，”特朗普在马里兰州安德鲁斯联合基地对记者表示，“我确实很愿意参选，但法律规定非常明确。”
“每个人都在问我这个问题，就连今晚的活动现场都有人高喊‘2028’，”他提到自己当天早些时候出席的“爱国者运动会”时说道，“不，所有人都希望我参选，但法律规定非常明确。”
美国宪法第二十二修正案第一款规定，任何人当选总统的次数不得超过两次。

该修正案于1951年2月经各州批准生效，距富兰克林·D·罗斯福去世约六年，后者曾担任四届总统，创下了前所未有的纪录。
在罗斯福之前，遵循乔治·华盛顿确立的先例，总统任期不超过两届早已是长期存在的政治惯例。
在第二届任期内，特朗普一直游走在调侃寻求第三任期和暗示自己可能认真考虑这一想法之间。
7月24日的白宫记者协会晚宴上，特朗普以一段关于再次参选的俏皮话开启了演讲。

“就像我的总统任期一样，第二次总是比第一次更好，确实更好。第三次会更棒。我只是开个玩笑，”特朗普说道。
2025年3月30日，在接受NBC新闻记者克里斯汀·韦尔克采访时，特朗普的态度截然不同，他明确表示自己谈论第三任期并非“开玩笑”。
“有办法可以做到，”他还告诉韦尔克，并承认了一种可能的途径：副总统JD·万斯可以以特朗普作为竞选搭档参选总统，获胜后辞职，这样身为副总统的特朗普就能接任，从而绕过第二十二修正案关于连任不得超过两次的禁令。

大多数宪法学者认为这一途径行不通。普林斯顿大学法学教授黛博拉·珀尔斯坦在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时表示，第十二修正案“堵死了”特朗普通过副总统职位竞选第三任期的可能性。
该修正案最后一款规定：“任何在宪法上无资格担任总统职务者，均无资格担任美国副总统。”

Trump brushes off reporter question about running for third term in 2028: ‘The law is very strong’
The president has repeatedly joked about running for a third term, while sometimes signaling he may be serious about the idea

The president, though seemingly closing the door on a third term, said he would “love to run.”

President Donald Trump dismissed a question Tuesday night from a reporter about the possibility of him running for a third term in 2028, saying “the law is very strong.”
“Everybody asks me that question, and you know that the law is very strong on that,” Trump said while speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. “I’d love to run, but the law is very strong.”
“I get asked by everyone, well, even tonight they’re screaming at the event, ‘2028,’” he said, referring to the Patriot Games, which he had attended earlier that day. “No, everybody wants me to do it, but the law is very strong.”
Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that no one can be elected president more than twice.

The amendment was ratified by the states in February 1951, roughly six years after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had served an unprecedented four terms as president.
Before Roosevelt, it was a longstanding political norm for presidents to serve no more than two terms, following the precedent set by George Washington.
Throughout his second term, Trump has walked a fine line between joking about seeking a third term and signaling that he may be serious about the idea.
At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on July 24, Trump opened his speech with a wisecrack about running again.

“Just like my presidency, the second time is always better. It’s always better. And the third time will be better yet. I’m only kidding,” Trump said.
In an interview on March 30, 2025, with NBC’s Kristen Welker, Trump struck a different chord, explicitly saying he was not “joking” about seeking a third term.
“There are methods which you could do it,” he also told Welker, acknowledging one possible route in which Vice President JD Vance could run for president with Trump as his running mate, win, and then resign — allowing Trump, as vice president, to succeed him and potentially sidestep the 22nd Amendment’s prohibition on being elected president more than twice.

Most constitutional scholars say this would not work. Deborah Pearlstein, a Princeton University law professor, told The Washington Post that the 12th Amendment “closes the door” on Trump securing a third term through the vice presidency.
The amendment’s final sentence states that “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
