The article discusses the constitutional and legal barriers preventing Donald Trump from serving a third term as U.S. President. According to the U.S. Constitution's 22nd Amendment, no person can be elected to the office of the President more than twice, or once if they have already served more than two years of a term to which another person was originally elected. Trump, having served one full term from 2017 to 2021, would be ineligible to run again after a potential second term. However, the article explores other avenues for Trump's political involvement, such as running for a non-consecutive term if he did not win in 2024, or influencing politics through his endorsement power, media presence, or by supporting a chosen successor. Additionally, there's mention of potential legal challenges or constitutional amendments, though these are considered highly unlikely.
