Constitutional Constraints: Trump and the Third Term Debate
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson asserted that constitutional constraints prevent a third presidential term for Donald Trump. Amid speculation, Trump hinted at extending his presidency but acknowledged the legal limits. Allies joke about amending the Constitution while eyes focus on potential successors for 2028.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed discussions with President Donald Trump regarding the constitutional barriers to a third presidential term. Despite Trump's coyness about future election ambitions, the Constitution stands firm.
Johnson, speaking to reporters, emphasized the near-impossibility of a constitutional amendment due to its lengthy ratification process, a hurdle Trump and his allies acknowledge.
While Trump stokes speculation with 'Trump 2028' merchandise, he also highlights potential GOP candidates for 2028, suggesting Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as viable options.
