Trump discussed with a lawyer the possibility of re-election for a third term

US President Donald Trump discussed with a lawyer the possibility of re-election for a third presidential term. Alan Dershowitz, an American lawyer and law professor at Harvard Law School, announced this on December 17.

"He found it interesting as an intellectual question. <...> No, I don't think he's going to run for a third term," Dershowitz said in an interview for The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

It is clarified that on December 17, in the Oval Office, Dershowitz handed Trump a draft of a book entitled "Can President Trump, according to the constitution, serve a third term?" According to the publication, the book lists a number of circumstances in which a person, contrary to the prohibition of the constitution, can run for a third time. In an interview with the newspaper, Dershowitz said that he told Trump that the US constitution does not provide an unambiguous answer to this question.
