Overview
- Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that pursuing a third presidential term for Donald Trump would be a 'heavy lift' due to constitutional restrictions.
- The 22nd Amendment explicitly prohibits any individual from being elected president more than twice, presenting a major legal obstacle.
- Trump has reiterated his interest in exploring 'methods' to achieve a third term, though he has not elaborated on what these methods entail.
- Speculation includes unconventional approaches, such as Trump running as a vice-presidential candidate, but legal analysts argue these would likely face constitutional challenges, including the 12th Amendment.
- Efforts to amend the Constitution, like Rep. Andy Ogles' resolution, are viewed as politically unfeasible in the current polarized political climate.
