Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama recently commented on the possibility of former President Donald Trump pursuing another term in the White House, describing such a scenario as “very unlikely,” yet cautioning against completely dismissing the idea.

During an exchange captured on the social platform X, a reporter questioned Tuberville, asking, “Senator, is it constitutional for President Trump to run for a third term? He’s teasing that possibility.”

Tuberville replied, “If you look at the Constitution, it clearly states it’s not allowed. However, if Trump believes there are exceptional circumstances that could circumvent the Constitution, that’s for him to evaluate. We’ve got a long journey ahead before any of that could occur.”

Pressing further, the reporter asked if Tuberville was open to the idea.

The senator responded, “I think President Trump would need to assess the situation from a constitutional perspective, considering the legal complexities involved. While it’s highly improbable, you can never entirely rule out what President Trump might decide to do.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed that he has talked with Trump on the constitutional limitations that would bar Trump from seeking another term. The Louisiana Republican said he did not view “the path” to getting Trump an extra term after 2028.

“It’s been a great run, but I think the president knows — and he and I’ve talked about the constrictions of the Constitution, as much as so many of the American people lament that,” Johnson said during a press conference.

“The Trump 2028 cap is one of the most popular that’s ever been produced,” Johnson added.

But the Speaker noted the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which bars any person from winning the White House more than twice.

“I don’t see a way to amend the Constitution, because it takes about 10 years to do that, as you know, to allow all the states to ratify,” Johnson said.
