UNITED STATES – Comments that make us fear the worst for American democracy. Donald Trump was received this Wednesday, November 13 by Joe Biden, his sworn political enemy, at the White House. Just before this meeting in Washington, the Republican already floated the possibility of a third term.
After shaking hands with the outgoing head of state in the Oval Office, where Donald Trump will take up residence after his swearing in on January 20, the 45th and soon 47th American president declared that the transition would be “the smoothest there is”.
“We will do everything possible to make sure you have everything you need”affirmed for his part Joe Biden, after presenting his ” Congratulations “, as you can hear in our video at the top of the article.
The U.S. Constitution prohibits serving three terms.
Donald Trump, who made a rare comeback by winning the presidential election on November 5, first went to Republicans this Wednesday, with whom he raised the possibility of running for the White House in the end of his second term. “I think I won't run again, unless you say to yourself: 'he's good, we have to consider something else'”he declared to the laughter of the audience.
Having already served a term between 2016 and 2020, Donald Trump nevertheless cannot democratically represent himself, as we explain in detail in this article. The American Constitution provides that, even if the terms are not consecutive, a person can only serve as president twice.
The president-elect had already made comments on the limitation of mandates and their duration, recalls BBC News. In July, he repeatedly told participants at a conservative Christian event that they would not have “ more to vote » if he was elected in 2024: “vou won't have to do that anymore. Four more years. You know what? Everything will be sorted. Everything will be fine. You will no longer have to vote, my beautiful Christians. » Some saw in these remarks a threat not to leave power after a second term.
Donald Trump did not offer Joe Biden the same meeting in 2020. He refused to recognize the results of the election and tried to delay the Democrat's taking office.
