Should President Trump be allowed a 3rd term?
In which prison?
They bought into his bull$hit and now they've got a tiger by the tail and don't dare let go?...This is what I've always wondered about Republicans support of Trump. If they are weary of dealing with his baggage, why wouldn't they just cut their losses and toss him under the bus?...
Well....in extra-ordinary times we need extraordinary leaders like Trump or FDR during WW2 who was allowed 4 terms
The ill-considered impeachment efforts against President Donald Trump have seriously interfered with his first term as president. Thus, argues constitutional scholar William Mattox in The Wall Street Journal, if acquitted, Trump should be eligible for a third term, notwithstanding the two-term limit in the 22nd Amendment.
Mattox deploys a sports analogy: “In the National Football League, teams can challenge a call on the field — but there’s a risk. If instant replay doesn’t merit overturning the call, the challenging team loses one of its three timeouts. That discourages frivolous challenges and keeps the game flowing, while also providing a way to reverse egregious errors.”
Hence, a third term for the president: “That would allow him to make up for the time lost advancing the agenda that voters elected him to enact. It would preserve impeachment for genuine offenses but discourage its use for disputed ones and for mere politics. Absent such an amendment, and in an era when government is divided more often than not, impeachment seems likely to become an increasingly common means of opposition.”
The Republican Party could not withstand a third term.
Hell, there's some considerable reason to believe that they could not withstand a second.
Every ten minutes, Republicans have to rally to Trump's defense over his latest gaffe or faux pas or scandalous behavior.
You'd think they'd get tired of it after a few years and be ready to back somebody who actually thinks before he talks and acts and tweets.
Republicans really do need a breather... some competent, likable front-man (or -woman) that's a bit more Low Maintenance than this one.
This is what I've always wondered about Republicans support of Trump. If they are weary of dealing with his baggage, why wouldn't they just cut their losses and toss him under the bus? And then back a reasonable candidate. Then you take a look at Trump's popularity among registered Republicans (something like 92%) and you start to see why they have to go all in on Trump. To go against him is political suicide. All of the reasonable voices in the Republican Party have gone silent out of fear..or retired because they know the battle is lost.
President could get a 3rd term only if the congress and senate vote to repeal the amendment restricting presidents to only 2 terms. Maybe after the Dems lose the house and more senate seats go republican, it just might happen....Well....in extra-ordinary times we need extraordinary leaders like Trump or FDR during WW2 who was allowed 4 terms

Yes! He's been cheated out of his first term.Well....in extra-ordinary times we need extraordinary leaders like Trump or FDR during WW2 who was allowed 4 terms

Well, Mattox is apparently an idiot.Stupid question
well, mattox is a constitutional scholar and works for the wall street journal.

There are no reasonable democratic candidates to back, nor is anyone going to beat Trump in the primaries. It might be political suicide to go against Trump on the GOP side, but the Dems have no one on their side that is even worth considering. No one, not even Hillary if she should decide to get in.

I have frankly just gotten too damn used to Trumpskies suggesting that Trump can just ignore the Constitution.
Trump has literally gotten Republicans to start to believe that Trump just is not bound by the Constitution like other Presidents- more akin to a king or despot than an American President.

TRUMP would be POTUS till he dies if this were the case, since we know democrats will be repeating this impeachment hoax during TRUMP's 2nd and 3rd term. They will not stop no matter how many times they fail.

Another few years of this and a Republican won't be able to get elected Town Dogcatcher...The Republican Party could not withstand a third term.
Hell, there's some considerable reason to believe that they could not withstand second.
It's going to take them years to recovery from one. Hell, I'm not sure they're even a party anymore, they certainly aren't the Republicans I signed onto when I was 18.
At this point, they should just change their name to TOP (Trump's Own Party) because they are no longer the GOP.

I get so tired of seeing posters on here who know little or nothing of our history. Many presidents have violated the constitution...........................These Are the Presidents Who Violated the Constitution (and How Donald Trump Compares)
