Constitutional Limits Block Third Term for President Trump, Experts Say

Despite speculation and rhetoric from Trump and his allies, the 22nd Amendment firmly prohibits a third presidential term under current U.S. law.

The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution explicitly bars anyone from being elected president more than twice, with no legal loopholes under current laws.
Recent remarks by Donald Trump and his allies, including at public events and the Conservative Political Action Conference, have fueled discussion about a potential third term.
Legal experts widely agree that any attempt to repeal or reinterpret the 22nd Amendment would face insurmountable political and constitutional obstacles.
Some critics warn that Trump's rhetoric and actions, including appointments of loyalists to key positions, could signal a broader effort to consolidate power.
Proposals to repeal the 22nd Amendment, such as a recent resolution introduced in Congress, are seen as politically unviable and unlikely to gain necessary support.
