Repealing the 22nd Amendment would be required for any president to hold a 3rd term 'legally'. Having said that, given all the other laws that have been unconstitution and successfully passed with enforcement upheld by the supreme court, I would daresay if there was ever a time to test it, now would be that time, unless the next few years sees the Republicans gain a supermajority, at which point that would be a far better test of this and other needed tests of the legal boundaries of the US and what the constituency will tolerate and/or support.
