Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who’s in the running for the dumbest member of the United States Senate, has thoughts on Trump continually floating the notion of illegally serving a third term:
The Republican senator from Alabama spoke with CNN about the possibility of a third term for Trump on Tuesday and refused to rule it out.
“If you read the Constitution, it says it’s not [possible],” Tuberville said. “But if he says he has some different circumstances that might be able to go around the Constitution. But that’s up to him. We got a long way to go before that happens.”
Trump and his associates have floated the idea of a 2028 run, even though another go-round is blatantly unconstitutional. Trump denied having thought about a fourth campaign earlier this week, only to immediately contradict himself and say that a plan to run as vice president was “too cute.” Tuberville said a third term for Trump was “very unlikely,” but added that he thinks it’s foolish to predict a future where Trump doesn’t get his way.
“There’s going to… have to be an evaluation from President Trump’s viewpoint to the Constitution,” Tuberville told the network. “There will be a lot of legal aspects to it… Don’t ever close the book on President Trump.”
