Third term talk triggers constitutional pushback

After Steve Bannon claimed Donald Trump would seek an unconstitutional third term, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, “I would love to do it,” briefly entertaining a vice presidential workaround he called “too cute” and that would violate the 12th Amendment. House Speaker Mike Johnson cited the 22nd Amendment and labeled the chatter trolling, as a new poll put Trump at net -19 approval. The piece contends a rightwing legal apparatus and the supreme court are eroding constitutional limits—from moves against the Education Department to attacks on birthright citizenship—and warns only public mobilization, not lawsuits, can check him.
