It would take a constitutional amendment, and that’s almost unimaginable given the requirement that three-fourths of states would have to ratify it.
Back to your questions.
After the verdict, Trump made exit remarks, speaking the press. Chuck asked Post reporter Devlin Barrett why he was allowed to talk to the press in court, and if there was anything special that gave him that privilege.

For as much as we celebrate the positive, transcendent impact of these games, we either chose or allowed the landscape to be flooded with insecurity and petty behavior.

“I shouldn’t have felt ashamed by it, but I was,” she said. wapo.st/3yB2VZT
