Summary

Despite the 22nd Amendment barring a third term (“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”), Trump continues to suggest he could run again, raising the idea at a Black History Month event and with Republican governors.

Legal experts say the Constitution is clear that he cannot run, though some supporters, including Rep. Andy Ogles and Steve Bannon, are pushing for a constitutional amendment or a 2028 campaign.

Meanwhile, Trump has expanded executive authority in his second term, drawing criticism for undermining congressional checks.

    His executive orders already contradict existing laws? The constitution is the law of the land, and he has no authority to override the legislature, yet… Has. And then when judges have told him to stop. He hasn’t. You can forget anything that’s written at this point. It’s all going to come down to bloodshed or dictatorship. And most of the population is fine with a dictatorship it appears.
