Trump Told by Alan Dershowitz Constitutionality of Third Term Is Unclear

[AntonToo]

The 12th Amendment states that no one who is constitutionally ineligible to be president can be vice president.

Trump would only be ineligible to run for presidency, nothing in there about being ineligible to actually be a president by succession.

There is that loophole in there.

Trump has three problems however:

1. He is too ******* old.
2. Voters may reject the scheme, demanding that Congress close the loophole.
3. Obama, who is definetly not too ******* old. Trump is not the only one who can do this and it may back-fire like Texas redistricting cluster f gave California Dems redistricting rationale.

It's up to five judges.

not true, But keep spreading this and keep these leftist loons focused on anything but obstructing Trump's progress.

They won't get it. Thank God, and the US Constitution. The only people that are unclear about the legality of a third term are MAGA trumpers and Alan Dershowitz. Maga trumpers are the 33% of Republicans that still approve of trump, but that isn't enough and will not "trump" the Constitution. Courts are among those that have had just about enough of the idiot, Donald.

The USSC still seems to be a fan of the Unitary Idiot.

You think they would rule the 12 Amendment to the constitution, unconstitutional. forget it? They rule on the constitutionality of laws and actions passed by legislatures, not the Constitution itself. Try reading Article III and the Federal Judiciary Act of 1789 sometime.

Yes true. The USSC invented a king. Inventing rule in perpetuity is the logical extension.

 

[cnm]

They rule on the constitutionality of laws and actions passed by legislatures, not the Constitution itself.

They'll just find an argument from the 17th century to make a fig leaf for their interpretation of the Constitution.

It's not as if they don't have form.

Trump has three problems however:

1. He is too ******* old.
2. Voters may bulk at the scheme.
3. Obama, who is definetly not too ******* old. Trump is not the only one who can do this and it may back-fire like Texas redistricting cluster f.

Under the 12th Amendment, if ineligible to be president, you cannot run for vice president, and he is not eligible for a 3rd term as President.

Trump’s former lawyer presented him with his forthcoming book that concludes the Constitution is ambiguous on the question”​

It may take three terms to put a stake through the heart of the deep state.
Maybe the Dems will have Hunter Biden run against JD Vance in 2032?

Interesting. Dershowitz is brilliant in his legal assessments regardless of who he is representing,, so for him to even be exploring that possibility suggests there is likely an area of uncertainty.

I honestly believe there is no rumor, possibility, intent or anything else for DJT to run for a 3rd term. But to explore the fine points of the law about that are interesting to people whose views aren't stuck in neutral or forever stalled and never questioned.

If Dershowitz found a credible loophole, however, I sure can see President Trump having a lot of fun pulling the gullible or TDS infused media's legs with it and watching their heads spin.

What makes him ineligble to BE president?

He is president now, isn't he?

The only thing 22nd amendment forbids is the running for presidency again, he is not actually disqualified from serving as one by succession.

 

[Crepitus]

The irony is that hacks like you were sure he would never be elected president and here we are 10 years later discussing his possible third term.

Besides, since according to the same hacks, he is such a terrible president that him running for a third term should be a dream come true, but that it's not is also ironic as well as revealing.

It's fun to see you scared shitless. That's one of the things I most enjoy about Trump.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

I was wrong, tRump got elected.

I badly underestimated the stupidity of my fellow Americans.

My bad.

Derpshowitz is a bought and paid for hack. There is no loophole. I quoted the text of the relevant Amendment above.

All it suggests is that he can't get enough pardons for his clients.

Both can be true.

Loophole is certianly there.

Nah, this is a bad idea. If they were to actually try this, it would open the door for people to try al kinds of crazy things to stay in office for much longer.

Trump just needs to finish his term and go retire.

I’m totally against this idea, frankly, I think it’s a non starter anyway.

Trump would not be elected to be President, therefore 22nd amendment restriction does not apply, therefore it does not reinforce anything about him serving as Vice President in line for succession (not election) for presidency.

It's artful...but also elegant.

As that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, I'll wish you a pleasant evening and move on.

LIke trying to imprison your next electoral rival for colluding with Russians?

When you have something you can back up with any credible source, get back to me. Until then, I'll wish you a pleasant evening and move on.
