US attorney General says Trump serving a third term would be legally difficult

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that a third presidential term for Donald Trump would face significant legal and constitutional hurdles.

U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi stated on Fox News, April 6 that re-electing President Donald Trump for a third term would be legally difficult, citing constitutional limits.



She remarked that while many would support Trump staying in office longer, legal hurdles make it “very difficult” to achieve.The U.S.

Constitution was amended in 1947 following President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unprecedented four terms. The 22nd Amendment now limits presidents to two terms in office.

Changing this would require a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress and approval from three-quarters of U.S. states.

Bondi’s comments come in response to President Trump’s recent interview with NBC News (March 31), in which he said he was “not joking” about the possibility of seeking a third term and suggested there were “ways” to make it happen.She acknowledged Trump’s popularity but reiterated that constitutional boundaries remain firm. “I’d love to have him as president for 20 years,” Bondi said, “but I think this will likely be his last term.

”Bondi also criticized the mounting legal pressure on the Trump administration. “More than 170 lawsuits have been filed against us. That alone should be considered a constitutional crisis,” she noted during the interview.

Following his 2024 re-election, President Trump’s return to the White House has sparked new political and legal debates over term limits. Legal scholars and political analysts are now closely watching for any moves toward a constitutional amendment or alternative strategies.The speculation around a third term reflects Trump’s enduring influence in American politics.

However, unless the constitutional amendment process is successfully initiated—a rare and complex undertaking—any effort toward a third term remains improbable.While Trump’s rhetoric fuels debate, constitutional safeguards currently stand firm. Any path toward a third term would face intense legal scrutiny, congressional resistance, and a deeply divided public opinion.
