In an opinion for TIME, Professor Kermit Roosevelt, member of CERL’s Affiliated Faculty, examines what a second Trump presidency could have in store for constitutional norms, provisions, and judge-made law. Efforts to eliminate the 22nd Amendment, which lays out the two-term presidential limit, are unlikely to be successful, he explains.

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.
