Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett weighed in on the ongoing speculation about President Donald Trump potentially seeking a third term in 2028.In an interview with “Special Report” host Bret Baier, Barrett was asked directly about the 22nd Amendment’s restrictions.“The 22nd Amendment says you can only run for office for two terms,” Baier said.“True,” Barrett replied.Baier asked if Barrett believes that to be “cut and dry.”“Well, that’s, you know, that’s what the amendment says, right?” Barrett responded. “You know, after FDR had four terms, that’s what that amendment says.”Baier: The 22nd amendment says you can only run for office for two terms.Barrett: True.Baier: You think that’s cut and dry?Barrett: Well, you know, that’s what the amendment says. pic.twitter.com/O4i6kqwjTM— Acyn (@Acyn) September 8, 2025The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, was a direct response to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s unprecedented four terms in office, which ended with his death in 1945 during his fourth term. It codified the two-term tradition started by George Washington, ensuring no president could serve more than two elected terms.President Trump has occasionally floated the idea of a third term, sometimes in jest and other times more seriously, amid enthusiastic calls from his base.The Hill reports:The president last month said he would “probably not” seek a third term, but added that he would “like to run.”Earlier this year, the president said, “People are asking me to run. I don’t know, I never looked into it. And they do say there’s a way you can do it, but I don’t know about that.”He also has said it’s too soon to settle on a successor to serve as the Republican nominee in 2028, but has acknowledged Vice President Vance is the “most likely” heir apparent. The president also suggested Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who ran for president in 2016, could make a formidable ticket with Vance.The post WATCH: Justice Amy Coney Barrett Weighs in on Chatter About Trump Running for Third Term appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
