How could Trump run for a third term? The 22nd establishes a limit of being elected twice, once if he serves more than two years of an unexpired term.

1. JD Vance (or it could be someone else) runs for president, with DTrump as VP.

2 if they win, after inauguration, Vance steps down. Trump becomes president.

A few folks have said that other verbiage in the Constitution prohibits a person from running for VP if the Constitution would otherwise disqualify that person from being elected president, but that’s an untested theory and apparently requires some mental gymnastics to make the case; not all legal eagles are impressed with the argument.

So yes, theoretically it’s possible, and that’s the “method” Trump would probably employ if he decided to try for a third term.
