US EditionTrump says he’s ‘not joking’ about a third term. Republicans insist he is
- President Donald Trump stated in a March 2025 NBC interview that he is 'not joking' about serving a third presidential term.
- This claim follows ongoing debate over whether the 22nd Amendment legally bars a president from serving more than two terms, with experts divided on interpretation.
- Legal scholars like Ilya Somin emphasize that the 22nd and 12th Amendments together likely prevent a third term, while others highlight potential loopholes involving vice presidential succession.
- Steve Bannon, a former Trump strategist, affirmed plans for Trump to run in 2028 but declined to detail the strategy publicly, calling a third term a 'longshot.'
- Despite constitutional hurdles and political polarization making amendment unlikely, Trump's third-term discussion fuels legal and political debates about term limits and election mechanisms.
