In a recent NBC interview, Donald Trump suggested potential methods to bypass the constitutional restriction of two presidential terms, acknowledging he was serious this time. He referred to a plan where he could hypothetically run as a vice-presidential candidate, subsequently ascending to the presidency through a resignation mechanism. However, election law experts disputed this, highlighting the constitutional limitations imposed by the 22nd and 12th Amendments that prohibit an ineligible candidate from serving as vice president. Despite speculation, legal interpretations maintain that there isn't a feasible workaround to this rule.
Trump mentioned that, despite the 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two terms, there are 'methods' one could consider to extend a presidency.
Legal experts clarify that constitutional provisions, particularly the 12th Amendment, make clear that a person ineligible for the presidency cannot serve as vice president.
