House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed Donald Trump’s repeated talk of possibly running for another presidential term, saying the US Constitution’s two-term limit would block him from such a bid.

“I don’t see the path for that,” said Johnson, the top-ranking Republican in the US House. “I think the president knows, and he and I have talked about the restrictions in the Constitution.”

Trump has frequently teased the prospect of running for a third term as president despite the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution prohibiting any commander-in-chief from being elected to more than two terms.
