Dershowitz: Trump's Path to Third Term

0:00It's April 24th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, your front row to the latest buzz. I'm Corey with the story. Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz dropped a new book breaking down how President Donald Trump could legally snag a third term without running for. Election again. The key is the 22nd Amendment, which only bars being elected more than twice. Trump argues it leaves doors wide open for other paths to the Oval Office, like appointments in the line of succession. He lays out scenarios where someone like Vice President JD Vance or Marco Rubio wins in 2028, maybe with Donald Trump Jr. as there. Running mate, then Trump Jr. steps down, paving the way for Dad to slide in as Vice President with Congress approval. Trump could also get picked as Speaker of the House or Secretary of State, positions not requiring prior election. This idea sparked from Steve Bannon's bold claims last year that Trump would be back in 2028 with a plan already cooking.

1:02Bannon's words got Dershowitz digging deep into the Constitution's fine print. Dershowitz stresses his book is nonpartisan, just laying out the facts so folks know what's possible. He says if people hate the idea, they can push for a constitutional amendment to plug the gaps. Bottom line, this fuels talk about Trump's long game for reshaping global power, but it all hinges on legal moves and public pushbacks staying front and center.
