US President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump, who have been bitter political rivals for nearly four years, met at the White House on Wednesday. In the meeting, Biden pledged to transfer power in a normal way in January as promised earlier. The meeting of the two leaders in the Oval House took place in a cordial atmosphere.

Trump was welcomed by Biden and his wife Jill. During this, Jill Biden also gave Trump a handwritten congratulatory message for his wife Melania. After Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 presidential election, the situation became tense and Trump did not congratulate Biden on his victory, alleging that the election was rigged.

During that time, Trump supporters attacked and captured the US Parliament. In this election too, after personal attacks from both sides, Biden withdrew his candidature in July. During the campaign, while Biden called Trump a threat to democracy, Trump called Biden incompetent. After that, Kamala Harris contested the election as the candidate of the Democratic Party.

After the meeting on Wednesday, Biden said, "We are looking forward to the future. As I have said before, there will be a smooth transfer of power. All the work will be done which will be convenient for you (Trump). We welcome you back."

In response to this, Trump said, politics is tough and there are many examples in the world where political experiences have not been good. But today it feels very good. I praise Joe (Biden) for the kind of environment that has been created for a smooth transfer of power. During this, reporters asked many questions but Trump ignored them and walked away.

Trump expresses desire for a third term as President

During his visit to Washington on Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump also met the members of his Republican Party who won the elections in the House of Representatives. He expressed satisfaction over the party's position in the House. He said, victory is always good. During this, Trump expressed his desire to work for the third term as President.

He said that for this the constitution can be amended. In the current constitutional system in America, no person can hold the post of President for more than two terms. This constitutional system can be changed only when the assemblies of all the states of America pass a resolution with a three-fourth majority. This process of amending the constitution to extend the tenure of the President is about seven years long.

It is known that Franklin D Roosevelt became the President in 1933 and remained the President till his death in 1945. He is the only person who has been the President of America for more than two terms. After him, the Constitution was amended and provision was made to become the President for a maximum of two terms. Meanwhile, the Republican Party MPs who have majority in the Senate elected John Tune as their leader on Wednesday. This election has been held for one year.
