Steve Bannon, former White House Chief Strategist, suggested at a Young Republican Club event that Donald Trump could potentially seek a third non-consecutive term in 2028, citing a lack of explicit wording in the Constitution regarding consecutive terms.
The podcaster and former White House chief strategist made the claim at the New York Young Republican Club’s annual gala on Sunday evening. In a speech, Bannon mentioned the pro- Trump lawyer Mike Davis, saying Davis noted that the Constitution doesn’t explicitly say the two-term limit applies to presidents who serve non-consecutive terms. “Since it doesn’t actually say ‘consecutive,’ that ― I don’t know, maybe we do it again in ’28?” Bannon said. Trump is the second U.S.
president in history to be elected to two non-consecutive terms, following Grover Cleveland in 1884 and 1892. The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution ― ratified in 1951, less than a decade after Franklin Roosevelt was elected president for the fourth time in a row ― states that “no person shall be elected to the office of President more than twice.” “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good we’ve got to figure something else out,’” he told them, referring to a resolution in the House to clarify that the 22nd Amendment “applies to two terms in the aggregate” to remove any possible ambiguity. “They are trial balloons,” he added. “They are very intentionally designed to soften the response and then to normalize his unconstitutional and anti-democratic goals.” Constitutional law specialists reject the idea that any legal loopholes exist that would allow a president to nullify the 22nd Amendment and seek more than two terms
