Trump on China's Xi consolidating power: 'Maybe we'll give that a shot some day'

My understanding is that there’s no binding need for the President to step down after two terms, but it’s an unwritten rule. FDR stood for three, though he is the only person to have done it and I guess the circumstances were quite exceptional.

When FDR did it, it was an unwritten rule but afterwards the 22nd amendment was passed putting it into the constitution.

I should know that, it's literally my job to know that.

Eight-seven per cent of the minors who married across the country between 2000 and 2015 were girls, with the majority either 16 or 17.

The youngest wedded were three 10-year-old girls in Tennessee who married men aged 24, 25 and 31 in 2001. The youngest groom was an 11-year-old who married a 27-year-old woman in the same state in 2006.
