🎬 Alan Dershowitz - How Trump Can Legally Be President in 2029 - And Exactly How He Does It

[upbeat music] Trump would like to run for a third term.

If the 22nd Amendment didn't exist, he'd be starting his campaign now.

Let's talk about what the 22nd Amendment says, and what are the ways around it, because you can get pretty creative.

So let's assume the next president and vice president are killed.

The House of Representatives elects Trump to be Speaker of the House, and then ascends to the presidency without being elected.

Another one, which is the Electoral College, fails to have a majority for any one candidate, then it gets thrown to the House of Representatives, which chooses, not elects, a president.

Or the last one, the next president and vice president resigns, and the Republican-controlled House could name Trump as speaker, and then according to the statutes, that person ascends to the presidency without being elected.

I don't think the Supreme Court would sustain this one, but I do think would sustain the other scenario of an unplanned ascension to the presidency through assassinations or through a deadlock in the Electoral College.
