So, albaby, does the need to amend the Constitution make a 3rd Trump term virtually impossible? Since it requires 2/3 of both the House and Senate as well as ratification by 75% of the states?
Or is there a tricky legalese way to still satisfy what the Constitution has to say about that currently?
There is a tricky legalese way to do that, yes.
The 22nd Amendment prohibits someone from being elected more than twice to the office of President. However, it does not prohibit someone from holding the office more than twice. So if Trump were to run as Vice President to a pliant lackey, who resigned upon taking office, then he could step into the office. There's an argument he can't run as a VP candidate either, but that's a little less cut-and-dried than this approach.
