Trump keeps flirting with the idea of a third term. That would be unconstitutional

""I have my highest poll numbers that I've ever had," Trump said wistfully. "And you know, based on what I read, I guess I'm not allowed to run. So we'll see what happens.""

""No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.""

""There are many parts of the Constitution that are unclear," said Rick Hassen, who specializes in election law at the University of California, Los Angeles. "But the 22nd Amendment is quite clear: no more than two terms. And it was passed because there was a president who served more than two terms and the country thought that that was not good.""

""Well, he's going to get a third term," Bannon said in a recent interview with The Economist. "Trump is going to be president in '28 and people just ought to get accommodated with that.""

President Trump indicated that he may not be allowed to run for a third elected term, noting strong poll numbers but saying "we'll see what happens." Gallup shows his approval near 41 percent, not a record high or low. The 22nd Amendment states that no person may be elected president more than twice. Legal experts describe the amendment as clear and binding, citing its historical purpose after a president served more than two terms. Steve Bannon publicly advocated for a third Trump term and suggested there were potential "alternatives" or "workarounds," claiming work "well inside the Constitution."
