\n

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson<\/a>, R-La., on Tuesday poured cold water on speculation that President Donald Trump<\/a> could attempt a third term in 2028, citing the Constitution\u2019s 22nd Amendment and saying he sees “no path” to changing it.<\/p>\n

“There is the 22nd Amendment,” Johnson told reporters at the Capitol, adding that while Trump enjoys teasing Democrats with “Trump 2028” hats and slogans, the Constitution is clear.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t see a way to amend the Constitution<\/a> because it takes about ten years,” Johnson said. “You\u2019d need two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states to ratify [it]. I don\u2019t see the path for that.”<\/p>\n

Johnson said he had spoken with Trump about an hour before the news conference, calling the president\u2019s “2028” talk “trolling” aimed at opponents. “It\u2019s one of the most popular hats ever produced, and it drives the Democrats crazy,” he said.<\/p>\n

JOHNSON SENDS CRITICAL SIGNAL TO SCHUMER AS DEMS DIG IN ON GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN CHAOS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The speaker\u2019s comments follow Trump\u2019s own remarks earlier this week appearing to rule out a constitutional workaround.<\/p>\n

Asked Monday aboard Air Force One en route to Tokyo whether he might attempt a return as vice president in 2028, Trump laughed.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn\u2019t do that. I think it\u2019s too cute,” Trump said. “Yeah, I would rule that out because it\u2019s too cute.”<\/p>\n

TRUMP ANSWERS QUESTION ON WHETHER HE’LL TRY TO RUN AGAIN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

His dismissal echoed Johnson\u2019s view that the 22nd Amendment remains an immovable barrier.<\/p>\n

Ratified in 1951 after Franklin D. Roosevelt\u2019s four terms in office, the 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two elected terms. Amending it would require two-thirds approval in both chambers of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states. The ratification process, Johnson noted, typically takes a decade or longer.<\/p>\n

Following his news conference, Johnson was pressed in the Capitol hallways by Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram<\/a> about the ongoing government shutdown<\/a>, now approaching one month.<\/p>\n

“The president tried his best to negotiate with the Democrat leaders<\/a>. They effectively gave him the middle finger in the Oval Office,” Johnson said. “This is a congressional problem.”<\/p>\n

He argued that there was “nothing more for [Trump] to do,” noting that Republicans had already offered a “clean” continuing resolution. “Talking with [Democrats] and trying to negotiate is a waste of time,” Johnson said.<\/p>\n

The speaker accused Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer<\/a>, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., of clinging to a “long laundry list of crazy partisan spending priorities,” and said reopening the government would require “a few commonsense, centrist, moderate Democrats who care about the American people more than their political games.”<\/p>\n

Johnson said he remains focused on the next three years of the Trump administration rather than hypothetical questions about 2028.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether any Trump allies formally propose a constitutional amendment, though Johnson insisted he sees no chance of success.<\/p>\n
