It would take 2/3rds of the Congress to propose such an Amendment so that is not going to happen. It would also take 2/3rds of the states to vote in favor of it, and that is not going to happen either. This idea is dead on arrival.
From your mouth to God's ear. I mean, you're right about the Constitutional process and what not, but this Empty Suit cares nothing for such things. And I'm sure, if he could twist Detroit's arm this way, what could he do to Congress? (he asked, fearfully)

He could possibly twist every Democratic arm and maybe even a few Republican arms, but never enough Republicans to give him the 2/3rds he needs for passage. Furthermore, since he didn’t win anywhere near 2/3rds of the States in the general election, I don’t see much chance of him getting enough states to give him a 3rd term.
