What are the amends to the US Constitution going to be?
President Donald Trump has raised eyebrows in recent months with public remarks that hint at possible changes to the U.S. Constitution, particularly the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms. While these comments have sparked speculation, there is no formal record of Trump directly calling for a constitutional amendment.
In a recent interview, Trump said he was “not joking” about the idea of a third presidential term and suggested there are “methods” that could allow it. (With NBC) Though vague, the statement fueled conversation around whether he or his allies may attempt to challenge the two-term limit. Since then, Rep. Andy Ogles introduced a resolution in Congress seeking to amend the 22nd Amendment to permit Trump to serve a non-consecutive third term.
Additionally, Trump has taken executive action that touches on constitutional interpretation. Most notably, his administration issued an order attempting to end birthright citizenship — a right protected under the 14th Amendment. Legal experts argue that such a move would require a formal amendment, not executive authority, to withstand constitutional scrutiny.
Despite these developments, Trump has not made any official, on-record statements directly calling for amending the Constitution. No C-SPAN footage, published transcripts, or verified public addresses confirm a formal push to change constitutional law.
For now, the suggestions remain unofficial — raising questions but stopping short of a declared effort to rewrite America’s founding document.
