Mike Johnson Sees No ‘Path’ for Trump Third Term

October 28, 2025 · 1:37 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Speaker Mike Johnson said he doesn’t “see a way to amend the Constitution” to allow for President Donald Trump to seek a third term in office, ABC News reports.

CNN: “The Republican leader’s acknowledgment that he and Trump have discussed issues surrounding a third-term adds credence to warnings from the president’s opponents that he is seriously flirting with upending the Constitution. But Johnson’s quickly throwing cold water on the suggestion underscores how little support Trump would have if he actually tried to move forward with it.”
