Is Trump legally barred from running for President again by the US Constitution?

I believe that a president is only allowed to serve a maximum of 2 terms.

Ah yes there it is - the 22nd ammendment ratified in 1951.

From Section 1:

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."

So unless Trump changes it, he cannot stand for re-election as GOP candidate in 2028.
