The constitutional barriers to repealing the 22nd Amendment explain traders' strong consensus against any 2026 repeal. Amending the Constitution requires two-thirds majorities in both chambers of Congress followed by ratification from three-fourths of the states, a threshold rarely met even under unified government. Recent proposals such as H.J.Res.29 have remained stalled in committee with no floor action or broad bipartisan backing as of mid-2026. President Trump's public comments have acknowledged the legal constraints while occasionally joking about extended service, yet no legislative or state-level momentum has emerged ahead of the midterm elections. Scenarios that could still shift odds include a surprise post-election push for a constitutional convention or rapid state ratifications following an unforeseen crisis, though both remain remote given current congressional dynamics and historical precedent.
