I don't
know if I should uphold the rule of law or not: President Trump
US President
Donald Trump has said that he does not know whether he must uphold the rule of
law.
According to
the French news agency AFP, Donald Trump said in an interview broadcast on the
American channel NBC News on Sunday that he is not seriously considering
running for president for a third time.
Asked by the
host of the program 'Meet the Press with Kirsten Welker' whether he believes he

He added,
without elaborating, that there were “ways” that would make it possible.
Amending the
Constitution to allow for a third term requires a two-thirds majority in both
houses of Congress and ratification by at least 38 of the 50 U.S. state
assemblies.
However, USPresident Donald Trump, speaking to NBC News, said, “This is not something I
want to do.”
“I am
looking for four great years and I will hand it over to someone, ideally a
great Republican, a great Republican to carry it forward.”
When asked by the host who that could be? He named Vice President JD Vance, calling him a “wonderful, wonderful” person, and also named Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He also said, “We have very good people in
