'Important implications': Professor highlights key to 'holding Trump in check' in new term
Raw StoryDonald Trump made a major political comeback, but he has one major weakness, a professor argued on Sunday. Dionne Jr., Washington, D.C., columnist covering national politics for the Washington Post and a government professor at Georgetown University, said over the weekend that Trump's status as an immediate "lame duck" president could hold him back over the next four years. Dionne began by emphasizing the limits set on a President under the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, saying it was "clear and unambiguous" that Trump can't serve again after this upcoming term. "This means that when he is inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025, Donald Trump immediately becomes a lame duck president," Dionne wrote in the Post. "Just as important, recognizing the limitations on a Trump presidency is a first step toward holding Trump in check," he wrote on Sunday.
