No, it’s not an April Fools’ Day joke.

President Donald Trump said over the weekend that he’s serious about considering running for a third term in the White House in 2028, despite the constitutional prohibition on such a move.

Will he in fact run for a third term in office?

That’s our Question of the Week for readers.

Over the years, Trump has mused with some humor in public on the subject, despite the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1951 in response to the four-term FDR presidency, and which begins: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice ...”

But on Sunday Trump told “Meet the Press” on NBC News that he was “not joking” about perhaps seeking a third presidential term, adding that there were “methods” to get around the two-term limit now in the Constitution.

And he used one of his familiar memes, insisting that others were egging him on. “A lot of people want me to do it,” he said on the program about the possibility of a third term. “But we have — my thinking is, we have a long way to go. I’m focused on the current.”

Do you think Trump is being serious here? Already, at the end of his current term, he will at 82 be the oldest president to ever have served in the office. Would he, or anyone, be fit for the rigors of the presidency at 86?

If he is indeed serious, it would take a lot of work by his allies in Congress. Two-thirds majorities in both the House and Senate would be needed just to propose an amendment to undo the current amendment, far more than the majorities Republicans hold now. Either that, or two-thirds of the states have to call for a constitutional convention.

Could Congress or the states pull that off? And then, ratifying an amendment gets even more complicated: Three-fourths of all state legislatures — or of state constitutional conventions — must approve it. Another end-around some have suggested: JD Vance gets elected president in 2028, with Trump as veep; Vance resigns to allow Trump to serve a third term. Would that work?
