Donald Trump is full of enthusiasm after winning the US presidential election. He is busy selecting the team for his new government. However, in the meantime, he hinted at something that no president has been able to do in the last 70 years. The newly elected President Trump hinted on Wednesday that he may be ready for a third term as well.
Donald Trump told his supporters at a hotel in Washington, "I think I will not contest the elections again. Yes, if you say that 'that is good, we should think of something else' then it is a different matter." Trump's supporters started laughing loudly at this statement.
How can a constitutional amendment be overturned?
Although Donald Trump said this in a light-hearted manner, it gave rise to a new debate there. Actually, an amendment was made in the US Constitution in the year 1951, in which a third term for any President was constitutionally prohibited. Under this, the President can contest elections only twice.
On the other hand, according to Voice of America, this amendment can be reversed, but for this, a change in the Constitution will be needed. For this, a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress and approval from three-fourths of the states will be necessary.
Donald Trump reached the White House after 4 years
Meanwhile, after winning the presidential election, Donald Trump went to the White House on Wednesday and met President Joe Biden. During a short meeting in the Oval Office, both the leaders pledged a smooth transfer of power as per American tradition.
Biden welcomed Trump to the Oval Office of the White House and then both leaders greeted each other by shaking hands. In this meeting, Biden and Trump assured the country of a peaceful transfer of power on January 20 next year.
What happened between Biden and Trump?
Biden congratulated Trump on his victory and said that he expects a smooth transfer of power. Trump said, 'Politics is difficult and in many cases it is not a very good world, but today it is a good world, and I appreciate it very much. This transition is very smooth and it will be as smooth as possible.'
This was Donald Trump's first visit to the White House after winning the presidential election. He reached the Oval Office four times. He defeated Democrat Kamala Harris by a margin of 312-226.
