It's not the first time the president has publicly mused about seeking another four years in the White House, which would be barred by the Constitution.

Summary

Trump joked about running for a third term during a speech to House Republicans at a retreat in Florida, despite the two-term limit imposed by the 22nd Amendment.

His remarks drew laughter, but they come amid a proposal by Rep. Andy Ogles to amend the Constitution to allow Trump a third term, though the measure has not advanced.

Trump has made similar jokes before, calling it “fake news bait,” while GOP lawmakers like Sen. Mike Lee dismissed the possibility due to constitutional barriers.

    The wording is such to explicitly block Obama.

    Because they all know that Obama would easily kick Trump’s ass at the polls, no matter how they rig it.

      no matter how they rig it.

      I’m sure they’d be up for the challenge. I mean, these are the Republicans we are talking about.
