US EditionDershowitz says he told Trump constitutionality of third term ‘not clear’
Alan Dershowitz gave Trump a draft book exploring constitutional ambiguities on a third term, but most legal experts reject these scenarios as implausible, he said.
- Alan Dershowitz, former Harvard Law professor, handed President Donald Trump a draft titled Could President Trump Constitutionally Serve a Third Term? during a Dec 17 White House Oval Office Hanukkah event, saying the Constitution 'wasn’t clear' on a third term.
- Steve Bannon, former White House strategist, and major Republican donor Miriam Adelson have promoted the Trump 2028 slogan, urging legal workarounds and pledging $250 million at recent events.
- Dershowitz's draft outlines scenarios such as Electoral College abstention sending the decision to Congress, allies resigning to enable Trump as Speaker of the House, and Cabinet succession probing 22nd Amendment gaps.
- Legal experts have broadly rejected the proposals as implausible, with James Sample, Hofstra law professor, calling them 'absurd,' while Abigail Jackson, White House spokeswoman, praised Trump's potential longer tenure and Alan Dershowitz said he does not think Trump will run for a third term.
- A constitutional amendment would require 67 votes in the Senate, 290 votes in the House, and ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures, making serious removal of term limits extraordinarily unlikely.
