    or just have the Supreme Court reinterpret that part of the constitution.

      “Congress had less people in it then, so judging by the original intent it actually should only be two thirds of the congress as it existed back then.” See? I can be a SCOTUS justice too!

      i guess in this case congress could pass a law saying no more term limits, seems like that would be a pretty quick SCOTUS case, but i guess all the conservative judges COULD say it's ok.

        Well, Trump would run again. Then he'd either get blocked from ballots, they would sue, and the supreme court would say he's allowed to. Or he would win the election, someone would bring a case arguing that it's unconstitutional for him to take office, and the supreme court would disagree.

        And the way those lawsuits often work is the person gets to keep doing the thing of questionable legality. So he could probably still get on ballots and run, even if there's a lawsuit.
