Trump Suggests Third Term Despite Constitutional Limitations

During a National Prayer Breakfast speech, President Trump floated the idea of a 2028 run, reigniting debates over constitutional term limits.

President Donald Trump, in his second term, hinted at running for a third term during remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. Constitution's 22nd Amendment prohibits presidents from serving more than two terms, but Trump has repeatedly joked about challenging this rule since 2020.
Republican Rep. Andy Ogles proposed an amendment to repeal the 22nd Amendment, though such a change would require significant bipartisan support unlikely in the current political climate.
Analysts and critics have outlined potential, though legally and politically contentious, paths Trump might explore to extend his time in office, including testing Supreme Court support or refusing to leave office.
Trump's comments have drawn criticism from opponents who view them as undermining democratic norms, while some supporters see them as a call for maintaining his leadership.
