Summary
Plans for a potential Trump third term are already being discussed, despite constitutional limitations.
Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon has suggested they’re “working on it,” while Trump himself has made several hints about running again after 2028.
Some Republicans, like Congressman Andy Ogles, have proposed amending the 22nd Amendment to allow three terms.
Constitutional law professor Michele Goodwin warns that Trump’s administration has already shown “a display of lawlessness” with controversial executive orders and policies, while critics note Democratic opposition has been largely absent, allowing these discussions to gain traction.
