Steve Bannon Proposes Change to Term Limits

Steve Bannon, a former advisor to Donald Trump, proposed a controversial theory at a Young Republicans Club gala suggesting that Trump could run for a third term by circumventing the 22nd Amendment, which limits U.S. presidents to two terms. Bannon claimed that the amendment does not explicitly state that the terms must be consecutive, thus opening a potential path for Trump to serve again in 2028. He referred to Trump's potential third term as his 'third victory,' implying that Trump won the 2020 election, despite Joe Biden's clear victory by approximately seven million votes. The audience responded enthusiastically to Bannon's remarks, which reflect ongoing discussions among MAGA supporters about Trump's political future. Trump himself has previously joked about running for a third term, suggesting he might reconsider if his supporters pushed for it. This latest assertion comes as Bannon continues to maintain influence within the MAGA movement, despite his recent legal troubles.
