Stephen Gillers, a law professor at New York University, told Newsweek that there are a number of methods by which Trump could seek another term, using the assistance of Vice President JD Vance.

πŸ‘‰ 1. The Vance Presidency

"Trump can be nominated as vice president with Vance nominated to be president, Gillers said. "If the Vance-Trump ticket wins, Vance resigns and Trump becomes president. He then chooses Vance to be his vice president. The Senate would have to confirm Vance," he added.

"There is one possible problem with this tactic. The last sentence of the 12th amendment says: 'But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of vice president of the United States,'" Gillers said.

"However, it was written long before the 22nd amendment's two-term limit and probably refers to [minimum] age, 35 years old, and citizenship, naturally born in the U.S., which were and are the constitutional eligibility requirements.

"Further, the 22nd amendment prohibits Trump from 'being elected' president more than twice. But in this sequence, Trump is not being 'elected' president, but vice president."

πŸ‘‰ 2. The President/Vice President Resignation

"The second workaround is this: Vance runs for president and someone else is on the ticket for vice president, maybe Don Jr. They win. Don Jr. quits and Vance picks Trump to be vice president with Senate confirmation," Gillers said.

"So Trump is not 'elected' to anything, not even vice president. Then Vance quits, Trump becomes president, though not through election. He chooses Vance as his vice president with Senate confirmation."

Gillers stressed that he is "just identifying these paths, not endorsing them."

πŸ‘‰ 3. A Constitutional Amendment

Trump could seek to change the U.S. Constitution's ban on a third presidential term.

Let's hope none of these come to fruition!
