Overview

• Former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera suggested Donald Trump might seek a third term in 2028 by attempting to amend the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms.
• Rivera noted that Trump would need 38 state governments to call for a constitutional convention, a challenging but theoretically possible process given Trump’s 2024 win in 30 states.
• Steve Bannon echoed the idea during a New York Young Republican Club event, though other Trump allies dismissed the notion as implausible.
• The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, explicitly prohibits any individual from being elected president more than twice, regardless of whether the terms are consecutive.
• Trump himself has not confirmed any plans for 2028, though his recent remarks hinted at a focus on supporting the Republican Party’s future candidates.
