House Speaker Johnson pours cold water on Trump third term talk: ''That''s a high bar''
2025-04-02
[NYPOST] House Speaker Mike Johnson gave a blunt reality check Tuesday to President Trump's musings about pursuing a third term in the White House, telling news hounds that amending the Constitution to allow such an effort would be a ''high bar'' to clear.

''There's a constitutional path. You have to amend the Constitution to do it, and that's a high bar,'' Johnson said when asked if Trump, 78, had an avenue to become the 48th president in addition to the 45th and 47th.
"But if it makes liberal's heads explode, keep talking about it"
''The president and I have talked about this, joked about it. He's joked about it with me on stage before,'' added Johnson, 53. ''You know, we take him at his word.''

#3  Trump agenda upended after GOP rebellion shuts down House floor

In this case, the "rule" would have allowed for debate and floor consideration of bills that would have limited district judges' ability to levy nationwide injunctions and would have mandated proof of citizenship to register to vote, respectively.
