The comments were not the first time the president has suggested extending his constitutional term limits.
President Donald Trump jokingly suggested he will serve five terms in the White House during his Make America Great Again rally in Montoursville, Pennsylvania on Monday evening.
"And maybe if we really like it a lot and if things keep going like they are going we will do what we have to do, and a three [terms] and a four, and a five." pic.twitter.com/NeektAccaRThe comments on Monday evening are not the first time the president has joked about serving more time as the U.S. head of state than the law and constitution allows. The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, prohibits presidents from serving more than two terms.
In another move highlighting Trump’s fascination with exceeding term limits, the president praised his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in March 2018 after the ruling Communist party announced it was abolishing the two-term limit for the presidency, rendering Xi able to serve indefinitely.
