Trump's third term

[toobfreak]

And I wonder all the time how this happened.

The key point is that it happened under your watch. It did not all just happen in the past 60 days. So the buck begins and ends with you.

 

[toobfreak]

Usually you want your best to be presidents.

Really? So how the hell did JOE BIDEN ever get elected?

The US is not choosing its best by any means.

I'd love to hear you name two others better choices to lead the country than Trump.

 

[toobfreak]

He's like a walking Rorschach Test for them.

Then you must be the splot. BTW, can you tell me anything about the T.A.T.?

 

[Mac1958]

Trump is done after this term. All this talk about a third term is just troll bait.

It would be so nice, and so different, if he could just behave like a normal, intelligent, well-adjusted adult.

But he can't. He just doesn't have it in him.

 

[toobfreak]

Trump is done after this term.

Right. After hitting historic wins and his popularity gaining with 2/3rds the country backing his border actions and the majority backing everything else, you still think that three years from now long after Trump's plans have all worked with the economic rocking of tariffs and all having settled out and the country is seeing unprecedented prosperity and peace for a change that Trump will be all done and washed up.

How cute you are.

Trump has just barely shifted into 2nd gear. Just wait till this summer.

Yeah but he’s still done being president after this term. No one can be president more than two terms.

Remember the constitution?

 

[toobfreak]

You mean you managed to run into one of those?! Trump is beyond your comprehension. No doubt a genius in his own way--- not a technical, scientific, musical or math genius, but a genius at getting things done, and a nose for knowing what, when and with who to get it done with.

 

[toobfreak]

Remember the constitution?

Yeah. It's not in there. An AMENDMENT was added to the Bill of Rights after FDR's term to limit people to two terms. Until then, a person could have served SIX terms.

Remember your math---- what can be added can also be taken away.

They’re all amendments

First amendment, second amendment, etc.

Any of them can technically be repealed like the one for prohibition was. Doesn’t mean it’s going to happen

And it only happens with 2/3 vote from both houses of congress

Do you really think that’s going to happen? Really?

Trump can’t just sign an executive order and amend the constitution

There, you've answered your own question. It is NOT in the Constitution and it CAN be repealed or changed.

Doesn’t mean it’s going to happen

Doesn't mean it won't. I think Trump has a plan.
I was originally against the idea because of Trump's age, but now I'm not so sure.
Trump has figured out an angle.

If he pulls it off, it will be delicious watching leftist heads exploding.
TWELVE YEARS of Donald Trump.

Care to explain how he’d get 2/3 of congress to vote for it?

we haven't for 30 years or more.

How do you suspend an election?

How do you just ignore the Constitution ?
Since SCOTUS declared him a King who is above the law, he just does what he wants.

Who has the authority to stop him?

Even if an election is held, Trump will just declare the results invalid (fake) and refuse to leave office

 

[rightwinger]

I think he understands the 22nd Amendment and is trolling you fools!

I think Trump understands the 22nd Amendment and is prepared to ignore it.

ARTICLE II, SECTION 1
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States,
at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the
Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who
shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen
Years a Resident within the United States."

So to hold the office one must be, at the time of assuming office:

• A Natural Born Citizen
• 35 Years of Age
• 14 Years a Resident

AMENDMENT 22, PARA 1
"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."

Notice this Amendment does not specificy eligibility to hold the office, it ONLY refers to being elected to office which is technically done by the Electoral College not the votes of the populus of each state.

The mental masturbation that cultist engage in hinges on the semantics of "eligible" and "elected" which are two different things. The difference being eligible to assume and elected. Article II Section 1 defines the conditions to be able to assume the Office of the President, while the 22nd Amendment is limited to electing someone to specifically the Office of the President.

There are two fantasy methods:

#1 Trump gets elected Vice President and gets voted in as Vice President. The President resigns and under Article II Section 1 is eligible to assume the office.

#2 The House nominates and selects Trump as Speaker of the House, then either the President and Vice President resign, the President and Vice President are impeached and removed from office or there is a tragic "accident" that invovles the death of both the President and Vice President. Then through the lines of succession the Speaker becomes President.

[DISCLAIMER: Both are abosulte bullshyte and will never happen. But those are the fantasies.]

Trump learned his lesson in 2020

In 2020 his strategy was that if you lose the election, just declare it was fake and try to influence states to overturn the results and then get the VP to refuse to certify the election.

That didn’t work

In 2028, just refuse to leave office.
Republicans will back you and say you don’t have to.
Pam Blondie will not enforce the laws
The SCOTUS will say you have to leave but have no way to enforce.

 

[there4eyeM]

Then why is he saying “there are methods” and that he’s “not joking”?

Trump has never felt restrained from saying whatever come into his head. It only means as much as people let it mean. He cannot legally have a term after January 2028.

 

[rightwinger]

If the checks stopped, you will kill your family members.

WTF is the matter with you?

 

[playtime]

It would be so nice, and so different, if he could just behave like a normal, intelligent, well-adjusted adult.

But he can't. He just doesn't have it in him.

sociopathic, malignant narcissists, with arrested development, who paid to have his SATs taken by others in his name... simply cannot function as a normal human.

 

[rightwinger]

He cannot legally have a term after January 2028.

The key term is “legally”
In 2020, Trump could not legally ignore the election results, he tried anyway.
In 2028 he will just refuse to leave office.

The law does not apply to Trump.
Nothing he does as President can be prosecuted
