Mike Johnson Says He’s Talked to Trump About Third Term: ‘I Don’t See the Path’
- House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday he does not believe President Donald Trump intends to defy the Constitution to seek a third term, rejecting the idea at a Capitol Hill news conference.
- The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution bars more than two presidential terms, and Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. said, `I don't see a way to amend the Constitution` because it takes about 10 years and two-thirds of the House and three-fourths of the states.
- Former White House aide Steve Bannon has told The Economist that `there is a plan` for Trump to run in 2028, and supporters have circulated 'Trump 2028' merchandise since earlier this year.
- Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Johnson emphasized that `we are not going to take our foot off the gas pedal` and highlighted the focus on governing over legal challenges, despite the 'Trump 2028' cap.
- Legal experts note the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution bars anyone ineligible for president from serving as vice president, and President Donald Trump earlier this week ruled out that vice-presidential route.
