Donald Trump is back at the centre of third-term speculation in the United States after Alan Dershowitz argued in a new book that the president could, at least in theory, return to the White House in 2028 without being elected to the office again. The book, Could President Trump Constitutionally Serve a Third Term?, presents the claim as a legal question rather than a settled fact.
The latest argument did not appear out of thin air. Dershowitz took a closer look after hearing Steve Bannon insist that Trump would serve a third term, framing the book as an answer to that provocation rather than evidence of a concrete 2028 plan. There is a large gap between a constitutional thought experiment and an actionable political strategy.
