Legal Experts Predict Donald Trump Could Serve as President Until 2037
Legal Experts Discuss Possibility of Trump Returning to White House for Third Term
As debates over the 2024 presidential election continue to heat up, legal experts and supporters of former President Donald Trump are considering a loophole that could potentially allow him to return to the White House for a third term.
According to the 22nd Amendment, a president cannot be “elected” more than twice. However, there is no explicit prohibition on assuming the role through succession. This loophole has sparked discussions among legal scholars and Trump supporters about the possibility of him returning to office.
Under this scenario, Trump could run as a vice-presidential candidate in 2028, with a nominee like JD Vance leading the ticket. If the ticket wins and Vance resigns, Trump could then assume the role of president once again. This strategy could potentially allow him to continue serving in the White House beyond 2029, and possibly until 2037.
While opponents may challenge this plan in court, legal experts suggest that the Supreme Court may focus on the text of the Constitution rather than its intent. The definition of “elected” does not explicitly forbid a former president from returning through succession, which could work in Trump’s favor.
As discussions around this loophole continue, it remains to be seen whether Trump will pursue this strategy in future elections and whether it will hold up under legal scrutiny. Regardless, the possibility of his return to the White House for a third term is a topic of interest and debate among experts and supporters alike.
