- The 22nd Amendment prohibits any person from being elected president more than twice.
- Legal scholars cite the 12th Amendment to argue a vice-presidential route would be invalid for a twice-elected president.
- Altering term limits would require two‑thirds votes in both chambers of Congress and ratification by three‑quarters of state legislatures.
- Trump has both hinted there are “methods” to return and said he cannot seek a third term, ruling out a vice‑presidential gambit as “too cute,” while allies like Steve Bannon still tout a 2028 plan.
