Laurence Tribe Sounds Alarm On How Donald Trump Could Actually Serve Again
HuffPost
Anyone discounting it is "thinking magically," warned the constitutional scholar.
Harvard constitutional law scholar Laurence Tribe issued a stark warning Monday, cautioning why he believes that dismissing the possibility of a third term for President Donald Trump is a mistake.
“Anyone discounting a 3d Trump term per the 22d am + the 12th am is thinking magically,” Tribe wrote on X (formerly Twitter), referencing the 22nd and 12th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
The 22nd Amendment states that “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” It also restricts someone from being elected again if they’ve already served more than two years of another president’s term.
However, Tribe pointed out the amendment only prohibits being elected to a third term and does not explicitly ban serving one.
The 12th Amendment, meanwhile, says that “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
