Trump's third term

[M14 Shooter]

Lawyers might argue that since he had one term and then it was broken by Bidens Term , he can run again because it is a new election. It would be interesting to see the Supreme Courts interpretation of the 22nd Amendment.

Thee 22nd does not qualify the limit with "consecutive", thus, it is plenary.

very true..which is why 99% of what this government does is unconstitutional.

Either way, i.think if trump tried it, he'd find little support, even from his own side.

99%? Lol.

I tend to agree, but that won't stop him from trolling commiecrats in the mean time. And I don't know any politician that win the presidency just to give it away.

You can stonewall all you want - the fact remains:
Short of amending the constitution, Trump cannot serve a 3rd term.

Going by the law as written, is not stonewalling, it's stating facts.

99%? Lol.

Yep. The cotus gives the federal government the power to do 18 specific things.


How many bureauracracies do we have? How many agencies? How many things they do that the cotus doesn't delegate to the federal government ?

I think trump is planning this as a 2 year term, which is why he's moving at the pace he is.

I mean, sure, we can wargame this 9 ways to sunday...I just think the odds of this happening are very slim

Maybe, but at the same time trying to understand the impact of what could happen is kind of important, right?

Or do we all sit here like idiots and pretend everything's going to be alright?

That happened with the British and Brexit, all these people pretended that Brexit would be exactly the same, only the UK would be richer. Only, the UK was poorer, and it lost freedom of movement in the EU and had the highest immigration ever, only it came from outside of the EU.

Don't think so, that makes less sense than the other way, plus that serving 2 years or less of another's term doesn't apply to sitting presidents.

#1 It's not the GOP, it's the Cultists - a subset of the GOP. There are the cultists and the sane wing.

#2 The cultists wouldn't nominate him to be unconstitutionally elected to the office of the president. They would nominate him for a constitutional position and then arrange for him to assume the office via vacancy.

There are only 3 constitutional requirements to assume the Office of the President:

• Natural Born Citizen
• 35 years of age
• 14 years a resident

The term limit is about being elected, not occupying. [Which is batshyte nutz, but that is there "thought" process as they struggle to finagle a loophole.]

See line of succession goes like this:

• VP
• Speaker of the House
• President Pro Tempore
• etc.

The other alternative is to install Trump as the Speaker, elect a President and VP - then they both resign and Trump assumes office - again with no election. Also batshyte nutz.

But that is cultists for ya.

WW

It's all a game to keep Democrats busy and off message. They have nothing, so they cannot do anything but bitch about how well Trump's agenda is being accomplished.

Those people are morons.

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.

Since being able to run again would require a 2/3 vote in both the house and the senate, and a ratification of 2/3 of the state legislatures to change or eliminate the 22nd amendment. That would be a real long shot since republicans don't have that kind of control of any of the above.

The most likely path will be for Trump to write and executive order in which he seizes power, suspends congress and the constitution due to perceive threats, either real or imaginary. This of course will end the founders experiment; that is a a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Not unless they can't read. The 22nd amendment states quite clearly that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice". There is nothing in the amendment about consecutive terms or breaks between terms.

If Trump wants a 3rd term he's going to have to ignore the constitution and take it by force.

It doesn't have to address consecutive terms or extraordinary circumstances or anything else. It is quite clear. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. That is about clear as you can make it.

Dumbass, that is an illegal act as there is no lawful way to suspend an election as the states run the elections. You are full of dhit as always. Get your head out of your ass!

Actually he can. Martial law. Declaration of war, etc.

 

[my2¢]

Before consideration of a 3rd term, Trump supporters best be worried about next year's midterms. From what I read the other day there are 35 senate seats up for grab with 22 of them being Republican. Two of these are to fill the remaining years left in the terms of JD Vance and Marco Rubio.

LOL, the only people losing sleep over a third term are democrats. Trump knows where their buttons are and he's going to keep pushing them.

.it's important to understand things that are real. I don't think a trump 3rd term is a real possibility. I'm fairly certain he would lose that fight..if he even tried.
