I\u2019d love to run, but the law is very strong. I get asked by everyone. Even tonight, they\u2019re screaming at the event, \u201c2028!\u201d No, everybody wants me to do it, but the law is very strong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Still, the meme on Saturday signaled to many on the left that the president is indeed looking to run one more time, in violation of the Constitution.
