Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

WASHINGTON -- US President Donald Trump discussed a draft copy of a book by lawyer Alan Dershowitz that examines whether Trump could constitutionally serve a third term as president, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. Trump's flirtation with the idea of a third term has alarmed opponents and constitutional experts, who say it would test the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution, which Congress approved after Franklin Roosevelt was elected four times. The 22nd Amendment states in part that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." But Dershowitz said he told Trump on Tuesday that the Constitution was not clear on the issue. He said that during an Oval Office meeting, he handed Trump a draft of the book, titled "Could President Trump Constitutionally Serve a Third Term?"

Dershowitz is in the Epstein Files. He's going to ---- out whatever legal theory that helps him avoid prison.

So Alan Dershowitz, 87, is cosplaying James Madison for Donald Trump, 79, about an election when they will be (should they even be alive) 91 and 82 respectively, basically goosing the gate for Dersh's upcoming book. Must've been riveting.

Trump is God. He's Immortal, don'tcha know?

Unlimited Terms until the Sun burns out and then a place as President in Heaven with GOD himself at TRUMP'S left elbow.

Good Times.

Dershowitz Told Trump Constitution Could Support Third Term

I think it's pretty clear to even the mentally infirm, including Donald Trump, that the Constitution allows whatever Trump's SCOTUS says it allows.

Jill Stein 2028!

How many terms did FDR serve?

He started his fourth. Then the 22nd amendment was ratified and limited future presidents to two terms.

The Level of Lame is palpable.

Perhaps the Japanese didn't commit enough atrocities in China.

Perhaps FDR shouldn't have created and sent the Flying Tigers to help China fight back.

OneIronTurd, the self-declared Chinese Bernie Bro who loves tax cuts for billionaires, everything that the GOP does, and laments the poor treatment of Japanese during WWII.

He's the guy with the stand in Nanking offering free kisses to Japanese tourists.
