What to know about the possibility of Trump serving a third term

Murmurs from President Trump and his allies have stirred up questions of the incumbent possibly seeking a third term in office, even as he’s currently constitutionally barred from doing so.

Trump has remarked on a few occasions since being sworn in for a second term that he wouldn’t be running again unless people insist and decide to “figure it out.” And Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) has even introduced a constitutional amendment that would specifically allow Trump to run for another term but not any of his two-term predecessors.

These efforts, which aren’t entirely unheard of in recent history, would require a number of steps that make a third Trump term a considerable long shot.

It’s not unpossible!
