Steve Bannon insists Trump will run for a third term despite constitutional limits

In a recent episode of 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' Steve Bannon, a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, declared that Trump is preparing to run for a third term in office, which raises questions regarding the adherence to the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Bannon emphasized that he believes the constitutional amendment, which restricts presidents to two terms, is open to interpretation and claimed that a team of advisors is currently exploring avenues to challenge this interpretation. During their conversation, Bill Maher read the 22nd Amendment aloud, pointing out that the wording does not appear to allow for any exceptions to this two-term limit. Bannon's assertion and interpretation of the Constitution sparked a debate over the legal implications of a potential third term candidacy. He highlighted that there are currently about 120 lawsuits pertaining to Trump's Article II rights, suggesting that the ongoing legal battles could reflect differing interpretations of constitutional authority. The discussion underscored the complicated relationship between Trump and constitutional law amidst ongoing speculation about his political future and ongoing influence within the Republican Party. Bannon's remarks have raised eyebrows and continued discourse regarding Trump's viability in the political landscape for future elections, particularly as he contemplates another bid for presidency after his second term.
