Worst case, he does it. Best case, he gets resoundingly thumped by the legal system. But neither of those is going to happen. If he's even still alive in four years, I don't think the people really in charge will be able to hide the dementia like they are now.
esoundingly thumped by the legal system
You're dreaming
I don't disagree with you, but I'm not sure it would matter. When Trump dies they'll keep worshiping their immortal god emperor even when he's entombed in glass like Lenin.
OK, let him run against Obama then.
There's a proposed amendment that would permit a person to be elected president for a third term, but not if they have already served two consecutive terms. It's literally written so that Trump could run for a third term but Obama couldn't.
According to them, Trump didn't lose in 2020, so he's out as well.
It already says he's not qualified to be president.
The wording is no person shall be "elected" of Trump claims he won the last term too he is not legally entitled to be in office and that bill wouldn't change that fact.
Someone who hasnt won 2 consecutive terms would be more unpopular than someone who has
Would it even be possible to argue for this?
The Supreme Law of the Land, The Constitution bars him from a 3rd term. It would take a constitutional amendment to change that, which requires 2/3's of both houses, and 3/4 of the states. LoL, no buddy you can't. He's not 100% sure of a lot of things, this is but one, a huge one.
He is currently working on breaking the back of the constitution.
The whole "stopping funding" thing is a ploy to create a case that let him ask the supreme court to let his handlers ignore congress and remove the separation of powers that is one of the cornerstones of that entire document.
It's article 1. President isn't until article 2
It's almost like he was telling another fascist dictator how he admired him for having zero term limits....
He shouldn't be alive by then.
I believe it. I can't imagine he's read the constitution
Dude can only read the TV channel guide and tweets.
He may drop a few nukes and it's a legal third term.
Then again, due to the complicity of everyone in power it can be done with even less paperwork (there will still be nukes but purely for entertainment, and pillaging).
I hate to say it but I don't think we are making out if this one. I think even if he can't pull off running a third term we will pretty well screwed by the next election anyway.
No republican has won an election in what 30 years without a heavy trail of fraud afoot
