00:00Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, President Trump this week in an interview with my colleague
00:03Kristen Welker said that when he repeatedly brings up the idea of running for a third
00:07term that he is not joking.
00:10You are a constitutional law expert.
00:12Is there a legal constitutional path for him to seek a third term and would you support
00:17him if he went down that road?
00:18Well, I just told everybody to read the Constitution.
00:19There's a constitutional path.
00:20You have to amend the Constitution to do it.
00:21That's a high bar.
00:22You know, the President and I have talked about this, joked about it.
00:23He's joked about it with me on stage before.
00:24You know, we take him at his word.
00:25I understand why so many Americans do wish that he could run for a third term because
00:26he's accomplished so much in his first 100 days that they wish he could go on for much
00:27longer.
00:28But I think he recognizes the constitutional limitations and I'm not sure that there's
00:29a view about to amend the Constitution.
00:30He's got it.
00:31He's got it.
00:32He's got it.
00:33He's got it.
