A third term for Trump!

[AntonToo]

For 250 years, good choices and bad ones.
But Never did Any one say they wanted to change the set rule, two terms per president.

Cool story. But Congress approved the Twenty-second Amendment on March 21, 1947.

It was in response to FDR getting elected to 4th term.

I don't see anything in 22nd Amendment about serving. It only limits getting elected to the presidency.

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.

Sure. The 22nd limits terms. The 12th however controls the VP spot.
Last sentence:
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Yea, but that determination again hinges on the 22nd Amendment and the language there does not seem to say that Trump is not eligible, all it says is he specifically can't get elected for that office again.

Eligible to be an elected POTUS? No.

Eligible to become acting POTUS? Arguably yes.

WW2 started in 1939 and ended in 1945.

But the point is Constitution didn't set limits on running for presidency until 22nd Amendment.

So Trump is lying and selling 2028 hats... to troll American citizens?

Thats your defense of the fat slob felon?

Fascinating.

Pipe down reichwinger take you r panties out of the bunch they are in!

Trump renews talk about seeking a third term: ‘I would love to do it’

The Constitution prohibits the president from seeking a third term. The incumbent Republican keeps talking about it anyway.

Yes!! What a wonderful idea! With the Republican Congress and SCOTUS in his pocket, this is a no brainier. What a golden dream for American consumers, farmers and rural citizens.

Message to President Trump: Sir, please go whole hog into running again! You will win in a landslide, especially if you add J.B. Hillbilly to your ticket again, guaranteeing the bubba vote! Go man go!!

Bigly!!!

Funny thing, the only people I see talking about a third TRUMP! term are the haters. None of his supporters are worried about it at all.

We disagree, but I respect your argument. Neither of us are SCOTUS or the US Army that gets to decide that.
EDIT: This layman's article supports your position:

The 22nd Amendment doesn't say what you think it says

Contrary to popular belief, the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution does not actually prohibit a third term for a President.

WW2 started in 1939 and ended in 1945.

I'd argue 1937.

And what makes you so sure of that?

Here is Bannon spreading the good word:

Constitution be damned, Steve Bannon says Trump will be President a third term

And President Trump actually weighed in on what Bannon said while flying over Asia on Air Force One.

www.mlive.com

And before you start talking about the Constitution let me explain how Trump can do it - Constitution prohibits ELECTION of POTUS more than twice. However, if Trump runs as VP and his ticket wins then he can be HANDED the presidency by running mate (Vance presumably)

Of course, Trump is far more likely to be incapacitated by age than he is to pull this off, but absolutely he is self-absorbed and addicted to power enough to be thinking about this crazy shit.

Jesus ******* Christ …

Yikes ... Trump was trolling you and you fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

Bingo. It’s truly amazing how many times they fall for it, never catching on.

Trump and Bannon have talked about it...are they haters too?

No it doesn't.

Here is the TECHNICAL reality:

Biden’s Electoral College victory certified -- hours after Capitol chaos

The U.S. Congress early Thursday certified the Electoral College vote that gave Democrat Joe Biden his presidential victory -- after a day in Washington that was marred by pro-Trump protesters storming the U.S. Capitol.

You are selling
"trump controls the other two branches" ?

Is anyone buying ?

 

[XponentialChaos]

I don’t think he’s kidding. Just being honest here.

For those of you who think he’s just trolling, I would ask you if he was just trolling when he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to actually get a third term after wiping his ass with the Constitution.

 

[buttercup]

Bingo. It’s truly amazing how many times they fall for it, never catching on.

I think he trolls his own base. Because he knows full well that you folk will defend him for literally anything under the sun.
