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?

The first 15 amendments were ratified prior to 1871. Since the 22nd Amendment limits the number of terms of office for a president and thus no longer part of the Constitution, Trump could serve for as many terms as he is elected. If the 22nd Amendment is retained, then he might only be able to serve two terms as the 19th President.
