Donald Trump's current term as the 47th President of the United States began on January 20, 2025. According to the traditional four-year presidential term length and the U.S. Constitution, this term is set to end on January 20, 2029. Trump was elected to a nonconsecutive second term in the 2024 presidential election, making this his second term overall. The U.S. Constitution's 22nd Amendment prohibits any person from being elected president more than twice, effectively barring Trump from a third elected term under current law.
Though Trump has mentioned the possibility of seeking a third term and there is some public and political speculation around potential constitutional loopholes or amendments, experts and constitutional law interpretations consistently hold that his current term will end in January 2029, and he cannot be elected again without a constitutional amendment, which would be a very challenging process requiring broad political support.
