> The U.S. Constitution can be amended by an act of Congress
No, it can't. If 2/3 of the House & Senate agree, they can propose an amendment to send to the states. It then takes 3/4 of states ratifying it to actually amend the Constitution.
> Running as Vice President: President Trump can run as Vice President with a space filler as President in 2028.
The 12th Amendment likely bars that, because of the 22nd. If you're not eligible to to be President, you aren't eligible to be Vice President either.
> but it is not completely clear if that refers to two presidential terms under any circumstances or two consecutive presidential term
This is just plain nonsense. They might as well argue that it doesn't make it clear whether two is a number or not.
This whole thing is silly. Let's not forget that amending this would mean Obama would be eligible to run again.

Representative Andy Ogles put forward a proposal that would have kept Obama from running again, but allow Trump a third term. It would be a funny joke in a TV show, it's sad that someone wasted actual time on it though.
