A president running for a third term is unconstitutional due to the 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, which limits individuals to two elected terms in office. This amendment was established to prevent any single individual from holding too much power for an extended period and to promote democratic leadership turnover. Attempting to run for a third term would violate this constitutional provision, making such a candidacy inherently unconstitutional.

Does Barack Obama want to go for a 2 term?

Actually, this may be an old question that reappeared, because the president did want to go for a second term. He ran for re-election and in November of 2012, he won a second term. If you meant to ask whether he wants a 3rd term, he is not allowed to do that. No president can run for a third consecutive term, because the 22nd amendment, which went into effect in 1951, says no president may serve more than two consecutive terms. So this will be the last term for Barack Obama as president.
