During a recent press conference, House Speaker Mike Johnson addressed the potential for President Trump to pursue a third term in office. He emphasized that while the Constitution does allow for amendments, such a process presents significant challenges. Johnson acknowledged Americans' desire for Trump's continued leadership but reiterated the importance of constitutional limitations. Trump's remarks about having 'clear paths' and 'methods' to achieve a third term raised questions, though Johnson remained skeptical about any viable plans to amend the Constitution.
I just told everybody to read the Constitution. There's a constitutional path, so you have to amend the Constitution to do it, and that's a high bar.
You know, the president and I have talked about this, joked about it. […] I understand why so many Americans do wish that he could run for a third term.
But I think he recognizes the constitutional limitations, and I'm not sure that there's a move about to amend the Constitution.
There are plans. There are not plans. There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know.
