“The late Justice Antonin Scalia famously said that Congress does not ‘hide elephants in mouseholes.’ His point was that courts are skeptical of using minor provisions in a statute to achieve sweeping new legal changes. The challenge of stuffing an elephant into a mousehole came to mind this week after President Donald Trump said that he is ‘not joking’ about considering a third term and that experts told him it is possible under the Constitution. … given the president’s statement, it is important to be clear about the basis for this theory, which has long been something of a parlor game for law professors on how a president might be able to circumvent the two-term limitation imposed by the 22nd Amendment.” (04/01/25)
