In the latest episode of “As the Oval Office Turns,” it appears that Donald Trump and his inner circle are toying with the idea of a third presidential term—because two just isn’t enough, right? According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Boris Epshteyn, a lawyer with a penchant for pushing boundaries, has been exploring potential avenues for Trump to extend his stay in the White House beyond the constitutionally mandated two-term limit.

Trump has asserted in recent weeks that he is “not joking” about staying in office past January 2029, when his second and final term is up, claiming that there are certain plans that would enable him to do so. Other White House officials are claiming it’s a nonissue, such as Karoline Leavitt last week, but only days later Trump contradicted her.

Others in the Trump orbit, such as Steve Bannon, think there’s merit in the idea, and some senior Republicans told the Journal that they believe him. Unnamed sources told the Journal that they see the lack of resistance from law firms, corporations, universities, and Congress as showing that he has the potential to bulldoze resistance to staying in office.

Now, for those of us who paid attention in civics class, the 22nd Amendment clearly states that no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. But hey, when has a little thing like the Constitution ever stopped this crew from dreaming big?

Trump himself has been dropping hints like breadcrumbs in a fairy tale. In a recent NBC interview, he coyly mentioned that “there are methods” to pursue a third term, though he stopped short of revealing his master plan. Perhaps he’s saving that for the season finale.

Enter Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican with a flair for the dramatic. He’s introduced legislation aiming to amend the Constitution to allow presidents to serve a third term if one of the terms is nonconsecutive. While the chances of this amendment passing are about as likely as a snowball surviving in a very hot place, it does highlight the lengths to which some are willing to go to keep the Trump train chugging along.

Critics argue that this obsession with a third term is less about public service and more about clinging to power like a cat to a laser pointer. The Constitution’s framers implemented term limits to prevent exactly this kind of political monopoly. But in the age of reality TV politics, it seems some are eager to keep the ratings—and the drama—going.

Legal scholars are having a field day dissecting the plausibility of these schemes. Some suggest that Trump could run as a vice-presidential candidate and then ascend to the presidency if the sitting president resigns. However, this strategy is about as airtight as a screen door on a submarine, given the 12th Amendment’s stipulations.

In the meantime, the rest of us are left to watch this political theater unfold, popcorn in hand, wondering if this is all just a publicity stunt or a genuine attempt to rewrite the rules. Either way, it’s clear that the Trump camp isn’t ready to exit stage left just yet.
