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.
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.
