Former Harvard Law professor: Constitution ambiguous on the question of whether a 4-year-old born in Italy can be president

The Dersh has been an enabler of fascism for a long time, but writing a book insinuating that Trump could declare himself president for life contrary to the explicit and unambiguous text of the Constitution is new levels of sycophancy even by his standards:

President Trump on Tuesday received and discussed a draft copy of a book by lawyer Alan Dershowitz that studies whether Trump could constitutionally serve a third term as commander in chief, according to the veteran legal adviser.

In an interview Wednesday with The Wall Street Journal, Dershowitz said he told Trump the Constitution wasn’t clear on the issue.

In a meeting in the Oval Office, Dershowitz handed Trump a draft of the book, titled “Could President Trump Constitutionally Serve a Third Term?,” which is set to be published next year. Dershowitz said the book lays out a host of scenarios in which an individual could serve a third term. 

Dershowitz said Trump told him that he planned to read the book and asked him about his conclusions on serving for a third term. The Constitution bars anyone from being elected to the White House more than twice.   

“I said ‘it’s not clear if a president can become a third term president and it’s not clear if it’s permissible,’” said Dershowitz, who previously served as a defense lawyer for the president during his first term while Trump was impeached by Congress.

I’m afraid the Dersh’s inalienable First Amendment right to be invited to any dinner party on Martha’s Vineyard he would like to be invited to will be violated with even more regularity this summer.
