Should President Donald Trump Get Another Term?

[ChristisKing]

I would be all for it but I think that President Trump wants to retire after this term (and I can't say that I blame him either) and it could backfire with a democrat years down the road. It would be awesome though. Oh wait, this article says that he's up for it. Cool!!

He should not have ever had any, but...

Constitution prevents him from any more terms.

Some GOP rep introduced a third term amendment into the House. So what?

No.

Too old

 

[InstantOn]

You all know that would be unconstitutional.
Why did you even ask?

Did you even read the article in my OP? It's possible that it might get changed.

Only by amendment, RR.

no .. 2 terms is the limit for POTUS .. the only party that ignored that limit was the Dems during FDRs rule ..

Well, he has won three times and that should be enough for anyone. Plus, he will be too old by 2028.

If the two-term limit were magically removed, the one most benefitted by that development would be Barack Hussein Obama. He would win a landslide in 2028 if barriers were removed.

Clinton would have won through 2020 if the limit was not there.

I love President Trump! But no...we amended the constitution for a reason and that reason is still valid.

JD will get trained in over the next 4 years and when he's president...Trump will still be available to him by phone to give advice. It is the way of things.

And Trump DESERVES a vacation/retirement! Just not yet We still need him!

Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"Congress approved the Twenty-second Amendment on March 21, 1947, and submitted it to the state legislatures for ratification. That process was completed on February 27, 1951, when the requisite 36 of the 48 states had ratified the amendment (neither Alaska nor Hawaii had yet been admitted as a state), and its provisions came into force on that date."

It's kinda like the rule I wrote for myself that when I am up $1,000 or more at the casino...I HAVE TO LEAVE!

I don't want to leave at that point...but it's for the best. That rule keeps me from giving it all back & losing the money I came with!

Trump should dissolve Congress.

1000 years of THE BAD ORANGE MAN!

I'd be all for it if he does what he said he'll do, but I also agree with your post. He deserves a happy retirement.

I'm pretty sure that that goes without saying.

What about Barack Obama though?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Obama would still be President.
