But what if Trump runs for vice president, and then the President resigns making Trump Pres for a third time?

Nice try, but NO

12th Amendment: "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of president shall be eligible to that of vice-president of the United States"

Georgetown University Law Center students are working to heighten their peers’ awareness of which firms have caved to Trump and which have stood firm. Upper level students are creating a resource for 1Ls interviewing for jobs. They sent me this ask for help⬇️.

Hi professor Feldman! I hope you're doing well. Some other students and l are compiling a list for 1L's to reference during OCl to try to inform and discourage them from summering/working at firms that have capitulated to the Trump administration. I've noticed that you have been posting about law firms on here (both good and bad); I wanted to reach out and request that if you hear of any news related to this, please feel free to pass it along to me and I will update our spreadsheet!

I could not be prouder of this Georgetown University Law Center student group. They were invited to an exclusive recruiting event with Skadden and withdrew because of Skadden’s preemptive capitulation to the Trump regime. Alanna, Caleb, and Carly were all students of mine.@

Letter from the Georgetown Energy Law Group withdrawing from a Skadden recruiting event, and explaining the reason for the cancellation: Skadden promising the Trump regime to end its DEI programming and give $100 million in free legal services to Trump-approved causes.

I agree, you might add , , , and to your text for reach.

Also, a headline helps quite a bit, as well as an image or link.

AP News · 3 lawyers for Alexei Navalny are convicted, sentenced to prisonThree lawyers who once represented the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny have been jailed in Russia as part of the Kremlin’s crackdown on dissent that has reached levels unseen since Soviet times. Vadim Kobzev, Igor Sergunin and Alexei Liptser were jailed on Friday from 3 1/2 to five years. They were arrested in October 2023 on charges of involvement with extremist groups, as Navalny’s networks were deemed by authorities. The case was widely seen as a way to increase pressure on the opposition to discourage defense lawyers from taking political cases. At the time, Navalny was serving a 19-year sentence on several criminal convictions, including extremism. He died last year in a penal colony.
