Can Trump stay in office beyond a second term?

A FactCheck.org article by Eugene Kiely examines whether it would be possible for President-elect Donald Trump to serve beyond the two-term limit. Professor Kermit Roosevelt, member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty, explains that it would be difficult to repeal the amendment that sets out the presidential terms.

Kermit Roosevelt is the David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice at Penn Carey Law School. He is also a member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty. Read his bio here.
