President Trump likes being president. He doesn’t like the 22nd amendment so much, and has spoken, with increasing seriousness, of his conviction that he could remain president beyond the end of his second term. Various pundits have weighed in, some dismissively, others with grave declarations that Trump can accomplish this through constitutional contortions of one sort of another. Professor Amar, it turns out, has thought and written about this decades ago. We will take you through all the history; all the constitutional provisions - beyond the 22nd amendment alone; all the supposed workarounds,; and present you with a definitive understanding of the matter. Look to our episode number - 222 - for a preview of where we think it will come out. CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.
