WASHINGTON, D.C.—Doubling down on its commitment to unconventional governance, the White House has unveiled plans for a nationwide sweepstakes offering Americans the chance to win an unprecedented third term for President Donald Trump. The announcement comes on the heels of reports that Trump and renowned constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz discussed the tantalizing prospect of sidestepping the 22nd Amendment—possibly through interpretive dance or simply pretending it doesn’t exist.
“Frankly, America has never been more ready for a surprise prize presidency,” declared White House spokesperson Darlene McSpindle, wedging a MAGA hat onto her favorite bald eagle. “It’s like the lottery, but instead of cash you get two more years of absolute certitude and Twitter-based diplomacy.”
Legislative aides have reportedly been tasked with brainstorming methods for extending the Trump presidency, including double-parking Air Force One on the Capitol lawn until Congress caves, or renaming ‘second term’ as ‘2.5th term’ to avoid odd numbers, which the President reportedly distrusts.
“It would be a blessing—just imagine four more years of infrastructure week,” said Randall P. Klaxon, senior fellow at the Institute for Constitutional Interpretations and Sweepstakes Law. “We’d be lucky. Like, winning-powerball-while-being-hit-by-lightning lucky.”
Some constitutional purists have expressed reservations, but were reassured after Dershowitz clarified, “The Founders never specified how long a ‘term’ needs to be. Maybe a term is ten minutes. Maybe it’s forever. Ask Benjamin Franklin—I think he’d love it.”
As for public opinion, one Trump supporter in a red-white-and-bluer jumpsuit commented, “If it’s unconstitutional, that just means the Constitution needs to try harder.”
