Trump says 'not joking' about possible third term.
In a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, Trump said "I'm not joking," when asked to clarify a remark on seeking another term, adding: "There are methods which you could do it."
The 78-year-old has a history of suggesting he might serve more than two terms, but Sunday's remarks were the most concrete in terms of referring to plans to achieve the goal.
When NBC asked Trump of a possible scenario whereby Vice President JD Vance would run for president and then abdicate the role to Trump, the US president said "that's one" method.
He added that "there are others," but refused to share further details.
If Trump does not approach Congress for the constitutional amendment, he would need to get support from two-thirds of the country's 50 states to call a constitutional convention that would propose changes to the charter.
Whether he goes through Congress or the states, he would then require ratification from three-quarters of all states.
