美国宪法第22修正案有一个“副总统漏洞”(V.P. loophole),即只限制当选总统两次,而没有限制任职总统次数。
不过,这只是一个理论上的可能性,实际操作起来有很大的困难。另外,特拉普可能以战争为由而推迟总统选举。
但是,在美国历史上,即使是在内战和两次世界大战期间,美国总统选举也是按时举行,从未有过推迟延期的先例。

Amendment XXII Section 1
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. ......

The Vice President Loophole
While the 22nd Amendment prohibits a person from being elected president more than twice, it does not explicitly prevent a former two-term president from serving as vice president and ascending to the presidency.
If a former president were chosen as a running mate and the sitting president either died, resigned, or was removed, that former president could theoretically return to power of presidency. It remains a legal gray area.
Martial Law or a Crisis
In an extreme scenario, a president could remain in office beyond two terms if elections were postponed due to an emergency, such as a major war or national crisis.
While the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly grant a president the authority to suspend elections, there have been instances where wartime conditions have led to significant changes in governance. If a president argued that remaining in power was necessary for national security, they might attempt to extend their term, though such an action would almost certainly face legal and political challenges.
The peaceful transfer of power is a cornerstone of American democracy, making this scenario highly improbable.

If Trump decided he wanted to hold onto power past 2028, there are paths he could try:
He could generate a movement to repeal the 22nd Amendment directly.
He could exploit a little-noticed loophole in the amendment that might allow him to run for vice president and then immediately ascend back to the presidency.
Or he could simply refuse to leave - by declaring some sort of national emergency.
