Former US President Barrack Obama has jokingly said he misses the fascinating work of the presidency wishing there could be a third term.
Obama made the disclosure during an interview with Stephen Colbert. The two chastised Donald Trump's presidency with Obama saying there were things the incumbent president did that made him realise he could get away with when he ruled.

In as much as Obama admits to missing the job as president, he is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term after his two election victories back in 2008 and 2012.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Obama has been mentioned as the next possible UK ambassador when Joe Biden takes power in America.
This could be embarrassing for Boris Johnson who had accused Obama of being anti-British due to his Kenyan heritage.
Boris was hauled over the coals, accused of racism in 2012 when he made the comment.
In a related development, the former president of the United States joked that if Trump refuses to concede defeat he could be removed from the White House by Navy SEALs after Inauguration Day.
The ex-president made the joke during his appearance as a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" talk show on Thursday night, November 19.
The host jokingly asked Obama who had lived in the White House for eight years where someone could hide if they were going to be removed.
