Trump Considers Circumventing Term Limits for Third Presidential Term

In a recent interview with NBC News, President Donald Trump expressed that he is seriously considering ways to serve a third term, despite the constitutional barrier imposed by the 22nd Amendment. Trump stated, 'I’m not joking,' and mentioned that there are methods to achieve this, though he did not elaborate on specific details. He acknowledged that it is still early in his presidency, as he assumed office for a second term in January. Trump suggested a potential scenario where Vice President JD Vance could run for president and then hand over the position to him, but he hinted at other undisclosed methods as well. While some Republicans dismiss his comments as mere jokes or a way to energize his base, Trump claims there is significant support for his idea among his allies. The constitutional amendment process to change term limits is highly challenging, requiring broad consensus from Congress and the states.
