      The 22nd amendment of the United states constitution, fully ratified in 1951, begins as such:

      No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

      Term length is set to four years for the President and his VP in Article II, Section 1 of the constitution itself (original text) and has not been amended or altered.

      Trump needs 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment, he doesn’t and won’t ever have that.
