Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump's attorney general said Sunday the president would "probably" leave the White House after his second term is completed.

But she left the door slightly open toward him serving another four years, telling "Fox News Sunday," "I think he's going to be finished probably after this term," and saying it would be a "heavy lift" to change the Constitution to allow Trump to serve another four years.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday that he was revoking all visas to South Sudanese passport holders "due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner."

Trump talks running for a 3rd term, despite term limit

Trump did not rule out seeking a third term for president, regardless of it going against the Constitutional two-term limit, telling NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday, “There are methods which you could do it."

NBC News asked Trump about a possible scenario in which Vice President JD Vance would run for office and then pass the role to Trump. The president responded by saying “that’s one” method.

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said Sunday. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

When asked whether he has been presented with plans to allow him to seek a third term, Trump said, “There are methods which you could do it.”

Trump has previously commented on running for a third term a few times, with Republicans viewing his comments as jokes or the president trolling his critics.
