Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris had 224 votes.
Can Trump run again in 2028?
Donald Trump will begin his second term once he takes office on Inauguration Day which will be on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025.
According to the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, it prohibits one person from serving more than two terms as president.
What is the 22nd Amendment?
Ratified on Feb. 27, 1951, the 22nd Amendment establishes term limits for those elected president.
According to the Ronald Reagan library and museum,George Washington, the first U.S. president, stepped aside after serving two terms. That unofficial limit was respected by all presidents after Washington until Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected president four times from 1932 to 1944.
In 1947, two years after Roosevelt’s death, the amendment began in the U.S. House of Representatives as a proposal to limit presidents to two terms. After some revisions by the Senate, the proposed amendment was approved and sent out to states to be ratified.
