Correct me if I’m wrong, but if Trump’s legal team manages to prove fraud and somehow gets the election overturned, wouldn’t Trump be eligible to run for a 3rd term? As far as I understand it, you are entitled to run for 2 FULL terms. If Biden reigned for any amount of time in a term that’s rightfully Trumps, that would deprive Trump of his full second term, thus allowing him to run once more. Am I off?

If the 22nd amendment is retained, any term you serve of 2 years + 1 day or more counts as a full 4 year term. So unless you believe that all amendments since 1871 are invalid, then no. Trump can not serve 3 terms if the Constitution retains its current form.
Yeah you’re right, I misunderstood the 22nd amendment. Thanks fren.
