Considering ways to serve third term as president, says Donald Trump

President Donald Trump said Sunday that I'm not joking about trying to serve a third term, the clearest indication he is considering ways to breach a constitutional barrier against continuing to lead the country after his second term ends in early 2029. There are methods which you could do it, Trump said in a telephone interview with NBC News. He also said it is far too early to think about it. The 22nd Amendment, which was added to the Constitution in 1951 after President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times in a row, says no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. NBC's Kristen Welker asked Trump if one potential avenue to a third term was having Vice President JD Vance run for the top job and then pass the baton to you. Well, that's one, Trump responded. But there are others too. There are others. Can you tell me another? she asked. No, Trump replied. Trump has mused before about serving longer than two terms before, generally with jok

Trump's new election order creates confusion before midterms in 2026

President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to change how US elections are run is creating uncertainty for state and local election officials and worries about voter confusion before the next federal election, the 2026 midterms. Election officials were already dealing with the loss of some cybersecurity assistance from the federal government and now face the potential for major changes that include a new voter registration requirement, decertification of certain voting systems and stricter ballot deadlines for many states. In Connecticut, Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas is hopeful that ballot scanners the state just bought for USD 20 million will be acceptable under the executive order, but she worries about other states. It's not like states have millions and millions of dollars that they can just upgrade their election equipment every couple of years, said Thomas, a Democrat. Imagine people purchased new equipment and now it no longer can be used. There is no remedy f

Trump's portrait to be removed from Colorado Capitol after distorted claim

A portrait of Donald hanging at the Colorado state Capitol will be taken down after the US president claimed it was "purposefully distorted", state officials said on Monday. House Democrats said in a statement that the oil painting would be taken down at the request of Republican leaders in the Legislature. If the GOP wants to spend time and money on which portrait of Trump hangs in the Capitol, that's up to them, the Democrats said. The portrait was painted by artist Sarah Boardman during Trump's first term and unveiled in 2019. Colorado Republicans raised more than USD 10,000 through a GoFundMe account to commission the oil painting. In a Sunday night post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he would prefer no picture at all over the one that hangs in the Colorado Capitol. The Republican lauded a nearby portrait of former president Barack Obama -- also by Boardman -- saying he looks wonderful". The portraits are under the purview of the Colorado Building Advisory ...
