The steep procedural barriers to amending the Constitution explain traders' 97.7% consensus against repeal in 2026. Any change to the 22nd Amendment requires two-thirds approval in both chambers of Congress followed by ratification in 38 states—a threshold unmet even during periods of unified party control and historically achieved only once to repeal a prior amendment. A related House joint resolution introduced in January 2025 to modify term limits for nonconsecutive service advanced no further, and President Trump's public comments have remained inconsistent without sustained legislative follow-through. Midterm elections later in 2026 could alter congressional composition, yet state-level ratification dynamics and entrenched bipartisan attachment to the two-term precedent create additional structural obstacles. Late-session maneuvers or unforeseen political realignments remain theoretically possible but would still confront the same supermajority requirements within the calendar year.
