Hey !! Sounds good to me. This guy is a nut case I'm sure that there has not been such a plan. However, he has planted a seed and maybe it will grow.
Now lets look at what the Presidential Succession Act actually says:
Yes, the Speaker of the House is indeed third in line for the Presidency
And he might actually be right. The 22nd Amendment states:
The operative word being "elected" Obviously, if the speaker of the house is elevated to the office of President, he is not being elected to that office. The tricky part is getting Obama elected to congress and then elected as speaker. But hell, I say go for it!!
I like Jo and Kamila but there is only one Obama
Conspiracy Theorist Dave Daubenmire Claims Democrats Have a Secret Plan to Make Obama President Again | Right Wing Watch
Radical right-wing activist Dave Daubenmire used Monday's "Pass The Salt Live" program to expose what he claims is the Democratic Party's nefarious plan
www.rightwingwatch.org
According to the Presidential Succession Act, if both the president and vice president are unable to serve, then the Speaker of the House becomes president. Right now that post is filled by Nancy Pelosi, but Daubenmire claims that Democrats will instead elected Barack Obama to serve as House Speaker, thereby allowing him to become president again.
Now lets look at what the Presidential Succession Act actually says:
The Controversial Presidential Succession Act of 1947
The current law of Presidential succession could put a leader from outside the executive branch and from the opposite party into the White House without the support of voters. Trump's COVID scare shows such a potential crisis of legitimacy is not impossible. The law needs to be changed.

Right now that post is filled by Nancy Pelosi, but Daubenmire claims that Democrats will instead elected Barack Obama to serve as House Speaker, thereby allowing him to become president again.
This, Daubenmire said, is all part of a plan to get around the 22nd Amendment, which prohibits anyone from being “elected to the office of the president more than twice.”
And he might actually be right. The 22nd Amendment states:
U.S. Constitution - Twenty-Second Amendment | Resources ...
Note the wording: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,...Twenty-Second Amendment Annotated Section 1 No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.U.S. Constitution - Twenty-Second Amendment | Resources | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
