Key Facts

• The Trump Organization has started selling "Trump 2028" caps.
• The US Constitution usually allows a person to be elected president only twice.
• Donald Trump hinted that he would like to serve a third term as president.
• Changing the US Constitution to allow a president to serve more than two terms needs approval from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and most of the state-level governments.
• The Republicans do not control enough of the Senate, House, or state governments to make this change to the Constitution.
• Some of Trump's supporters are saying there's a loophole that hasn't been tested in court. They suggest that the rule only prevents someone from being elected president more than two times, not from becoming president in some other way. For example, Trump could be the vice president for another candidate, and then become president if that person resigns.
• Even Trump himself mentioned these "loopholes," but he also said he doesn't believe in them.
• A Republican representative from Tennessee suggested an amendment allowing a president to serve three terms if they are not consecutive. This means the president's terms are not directly one after the other. In this case, only Trump could be eligible among the living past presidents.
