Attorney General Labels Trump’s Third Term Ambitions a ‘Heavy Lift’

Pam Bondi acknowledges constitutional barriers to a third Trump term, as the president hints at exploring unconventional methods.

Attorney General Pam Bondi stated on Fox News Sunday that pursuing a third term for Donald Trump would face significant constitutional obstacles and require a 'heavy lift.'
Bondi, a Trump loyalist, suggested Trump is 'probably' finished after his current term but did not entirely dismiss the possibility of exploring legal pathways.
Trump has publicly claimed there are 'methods' to circumvent the 22nd Amendment, which prohibits a president from being elected more than twice, though he has not elaborated on specifics.
Legal analysts widely agree that any attempt to amend the Constitution or use unconventional strategies, such as Trump running as a vice-presidential candidate, would face near-insurmountable legal and political challenges.
The debate continues to fuel concerns about potential erosion of democratic norms, with critics warning that Trump’s comments may test constitutional boundaries.
