Needs approval by 3/4 of state legislatures; it’s not enough to control the US congress. Supreme court shenanigans or some other BS is much more likely.

All he has to do, to do it legally, is get enough Republicans that support him elected to make a constitutional amendment. It won’t be very hard with the rampant corruption that is almost certainly already happening. And that’s only if he even gives a shit about it appearing legal, which I doubt he does.

Amendments require 2/3 of senators first, and then 3/4 of state legislatures to ratify. Republican senators can’t make a constitutional amendment on their own, even if 2/3 of the Senate voted for a proposed amendment, it still has to go to the states.
