Trump's third term

[M14 Shooter]

Correct. No who isn't at least 35 years old, a citizen, and a resident for at least 14 years is ineligible for office of VP.

If a person has already been President for 2 terms, he cannot be President again; as such, he is also ineligible for the office of VP.

I think the intent of the cotus is what matters. What the framers wanted. The intent is that there is no other means by which a president assumes office, except through elections.

I don't think many Republicans in congress would be on board with this..nor would many voters. I know I wouldn't.

To do so would spend the political system, and lead to a dictatorship. One person could be president for life under that thought process.

Every new president from one party could always just select the same person for VP, and then just resign the office to their VP pick.

I don't think that would be palatable to anyone.

Gerald Ford was never elected. That is Trump's only path, appointed as a VP than two years before the end of the elected president's term, supposedly Vance. Even that pushes the boundaries of the constitution and would be heavily litigated. And that leaves two years with Trump twiddling his thumbs.

I mean it is all for naught. There are some real zombies in this thread. This tariff thing will all work out. Pretty soon, anyone that doesn't speak English is going to be gone, everyone will have glorious jobs making tons of money, gas will be a buck a gallon, and there won't be a single dude participating in female sports. They won't even be in the locker rooms.

Wars everywhere will have ended. Cancer will have been vanquished. The borders will be secure, no one can get out. Trump will proclaim himself King and everyone will come out, hold each other's hands, and sing to the fake gold statue of Trump in the down square, as required by executive order.

Cancer is still around? Joe Biden said he was going to cure it during his term. What happened?

OK Skipper
You are on a carrier launching an attack against a target with surface to air missiles
One of your sailors tips off a reporter that an attack just launched and that cruise missiles were set to launch

What action would be taken against that sailor?
What would happen to you if you released those details ?

The sailor would not know. and even if he did, how would he communicate the info? Thank you for your stupid question.

BTW, surface to air missiles are used against air targets only.

And the Houthis have them

Why warn them of an incoming attack?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No one warned the Houthis of an attack except Trump warning them not to attack any more shipping, which they did. They had a pretty good idea it was coming.

 

[Slade3200]

It's not my opinion, it's everyone else's opinion.

You’re the last one I’m looking at as a spokesperson for everybody else’s opinions. What a joke

Security violations do not require an actual breach
The information was leaked

You will get over it snowflake, just relax team MAGA is on duty.

So, you have no problem with all of the shit Biden did? The ones that coat American and Afghan lives? The one that cost Ukrainian lives? You are a hypocrite!

 

[Concerned American]

I am educated hoss. A white paper from a former law clerk of Clarence Thomas is not going to get it. For instance, from the paper itself,

So how could it be that Populopolous was elected Vice-President in 2028? She secured that office because, in the run-up to the election, the Supreme Court issued a ruling—relying heavily on this Article—that rejected the idea that twice-before-elected Presidents are ineligible for the vicepresidency, either in general or by way of election.
Damn, the dude had to come up with an imaginary SCOTUS ruling, based on his very paper, and then he even goes counter to that ruling. Flippin ridiculious.

"The threats and insinuations no doubt thrill his base, but there is no constitutional basis for the current president to try to serve as president after two elected terms,"

MSN

Hey, Mr. Educated--Read the first sentence of the link. Do you see where it says VICE PRESIDENT? Yeah, now go back and read the portion of the thread that you responded to--AyeCantSeeYou's post about "He can serve as VP." that you claimed, "No he can't." News Flash--Yes he can serve as VP.

You triggered bra?
Ya. You triggered

"Triggered" is so passé. Like "bombshell".

Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so

Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House in an exclusive interview with NBC News.

www.aol.com

Will Trump have to run for his third term...or can he just stay in office and appoint himself? I'm thinking if he puts in his dream team in the military, that will allow him to stay in the White House. Without the military you can't be a good dictator.

Why not? The Dims want to run Bernie.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Yeah, but you have enough republicans who wouldn't agree to such a thing. It would never pass 2/3 of the senate nor 3/4 of the states.

You wrote "There exists no other means", but there actually is.

 

[ThisIsMe]

So NOW the COTUS is open to interpretation on desired results instead of what it actually says.

Interesting, a very progressive point of view.

But read the disclaimer, it's a batshyte nutz point of view. But that doesn't stop the cultists.

WW

No, I've ways said the intent of the framers was central to the meaning of the cotus. I believe when they wrote the 22A and the 12A, they did so with the idea that a person can only hold the office for 2 terms, and that's it.

12A says that no person ineligible to be president can be VP. I think 22A means trump is ineligible to be president again.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Trumps supreme court doesn't go by the intent of the constitution, but by the "text" of the constitution.

Except when they suddenly switch to the "intent" when it suits their aims.

Mm hmm, and this is why interpretation of the cotus is dangerous, and why all president's want justices who will interpret it like they want it to be.

The reasons behind the cotus and the intent of the framers should be good enough. If we don't agree with them, then we can amend it, but interpreting it in various ways just means it really has no meaning.

 

[ThisIsMe]

So you're saying Trump isn't a minimum of 35yoa and a natural born citizen?

.

No...since he has already served twice as president, he is now ineligible to be president again, which means he cannot be VP

12th Amendment says he can't be VP

 

[M14 Shooter]

No. He cannot.
The very last sentence of the 12th Amendment says so.

 

[ThisIsMe]

You wrote "There exists no other means", but there actually is.

Not if you follow the original intent. A president can only be elected twice (can only hold office twice) and being ineligible for the office of president, he can't be VP, and if you mean being speaker, that won't work because he is still ineligible, which means it would bypass the speaker and go to the speaker pro temp of the senate.

What other way is there?
