Trump and his advisors privately discuss the possibility of a "third term"
BlockBeats News, December 18th, According to a WSJ report, U.S. President Trump recently met with renowned lawyer Alan Dershowitz at the White House to discuss the possibility of him staying in the White House after the 2028 election and seeking a third presidential term.
Dershowitz previously served as his legal advisor during Trump's first impeachment. He submitted a draft of his book "Can President Trump Serve a Third Term in Office?" to Trump, exploring potential ways to circumvent the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (which explicitly limits a president to two terms). Dershowitz stated that Trump expressed interest in reading the book and inquired about his thoughts on the legality of a third term.
In an interview, Dershowitz mentioned that the Constitution is not "entirely clear" on this matter but emphasized that it was more of an "academic and intellectual discussion." He does not believe Trump will actually continue to govern or run for a third term before 2032.
According to reports, one scenario proposed by Dershowitz is that if the Electoral College fails to reach the required 270 votes to elect a president, and Congress ultimately decides the presidency, it would constitute a "selection rather than election," attempting to bypass the constraints of the 22nd Amendment. However, this viewpoint has been criticized by multiple constitutional scholars, with a professor from Hofstra University Law School bluntly stating that the idea is "absurd."
Currently, the probability on the prediction market platform Polymarket shows a 5% chance of Trump becoming the Republican presidential nominee in 2028, while the probability of current U.S. Vice President Harris is at 52%.
