Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution
The amendment prohibits any individual who has been elected president twice from being elected again. Under the amendment, an individual who fills an unexpired presidential term lasting greater than two years is also prohibited from winning election as president more than once. Scholars debate whether the amendment prohibits affected individuals from succeeding to the presidency under any circumstances or whether it only applies to presidential elections.
Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign
In 2013, Trump researched a possible run for President of the United States in 2016. In October 2013, some New York Republicans, including Joseph Borelli and Carl Paladino who later served as New York State Co-Chairmen for the presidential campaign, suggested Trump should instead run for governor of the state in 2014. In February 2015, Trump did not renew his television contract for "The Apprentice", which raised speculation of his candidacy for President of the United States in 2016. Later that year, Trump was a featured speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
