US political commentator Paul Duddridge has suggested President Trump could be presented with an unlikely path to a third presidential term.
The US Constitution limits presidents to two terms to rein in the amount of power afforded to the executive branch.
The rule became operative in 1951 after Franklin D. Roosevelt won four presidential terms, which raised concerns about a president serving for an extended period.
But after Maga (Make America Great Again) operatives like Steve Bannon revealed they are looking at potential avenues for another Trump term, Duddridge told GB News he would not bet against such an unprecedented development.

“Bannon says he is looking at ways of making Trump president again. They could change the Constitution, which is possible.
“If Trump gets really, really popular, he might have the numbers to do so. Also, if he runs as vice president next time to JD Vance and Vance steps aside, Trump could legitimately do another two years.
“It’s not two terms in the rule, it’s ten years. I’ll never bet against him again.”
It comes after Trump’s ex-chief strategist Bannon has claimed that MAGA operatives are actively working to secure a third term for the former president in 2028.
In a recent interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo, Bannon revealed his support for Trump running again after the 2024 election.
"I'm a firm believer that President Trump will run again in 2028. I've already endorsed President Trump," Bannon told Cuomo.
"A man like this comes along once every century if we're lucky. We've got him now. He's on fire and I'm a huge supporter. I want to see him again in 2028."
When pressed on how Trump could overcome constitutional barriers, Bannon remained cryptic.
"We're working on it," he said with a wry smile. "I think we'll have a couple of alternatives, let's say that... We'll see what the definition of term limit is."
Bannon's comments follow his controversial appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February, where he was heard chanting: "We want Trump in '28! We want Trump! We Want Trump!"
