Trump announces the possibility of running for a third term - By hook or by crook.

[squeezer]

Oh, Skoob is going to be perfectly fine with the Constitution being "amended" in violation of its own process or by force of arms of blanket corruption.

But his actual statement in that post -- that one without an ability to be amended is actually a problem -- is something I agree with.

If done correctly, sure but Skoob would defend any method Trumputin chooses and oh boy, watch out if Obama becomes Trump's opponent.

The Supreme Court won't allow Trump to run for a 3rd term.

I am not as certain as you.
If they think they could get away with it, they would do it.
If public sentiment stays strong against Trump, they will shy away, though.

Been thinking about it and there does appear to be legal ways to do this. First is have a Republican party win the presidency and also a majority in the house of Representatives. Turns out the speaker of the House - 2nd in line to presidency - does NOT have to be an elected member of congress. So a R majority can elect Trump to be Speaker. Then both President and VP resign and Trump becomes president til the end of that 4 year term. Or, same scenario and VP resigns and current president picks Trump to replace and then president resigns.

Eeks.

Um, do you realize what it would take to have the constitution amended? Do you know how many Senate votes are required for the change??

So unless your idol the conman/felon pulls off another Jan. 6th, how do you suppose he is going to do it?

Please don't hurt yourself twisting and prezentlling; just a straightforward reply, thank you.

Ah so now you are pivoting to what's required to amend a constitution and distracting.

Funny how leftists always accuse others of doing what they themselves do.

Thanks for the reminder.

ps you do know that the US constitution has been amended 27 times right?

 

[Skoob]

It's a test. I am sure you think foreign countries pay Trump's taxes...

A test?
WTF are you talking about?

Oh yes, it's a distraction tactic when cornered...i.e. change the topic.

Nevermind.

You see, you are not answering. It's a waste of time trying to discuss with someone who believes Trump when he says the taxes will be paid by foreign countries.

WTF do taxes have to do with the topic of this thread and my comments???


Ohhhhhh....right.... silly me...didn't recognize your distraction tactic there. I get it now.

You know if you get your wish and your King can run again, that means Obama can too right?

I doubt he'll be able to get through Midterms with this bullshit tariffs. He should've stuck to closing the borders and eject illegals and gangs.

These are all very convoluted, though.

The first and easiest way the Supreme Court lets him do it is just declare that the 22nd Amendment refers to consecutive terms only.
This is, of course, contrary to the plain text and all indications of original meaning, but they have already shown they don't consider that important if it is in the way of what they want.

The VP idea that's been floated this way can also be done by just saying the 12th amendment text doesn't really apply here and the 22nd must be taken in isolation.

The Speaker of the House scenario is also the kind of thing that is so obviously in bad faith it should be rejected but that the Supremes could decide to accept if it was convenient.

Not necessarily.
Like I said above, just interpret it to mean only consecutive terms and then Trump can run and Obama can't.

Yes and I did say Obama can run again as well.

btw Do you even read or do you just like looking foolish when you trip over yourself after attacking someone?

You post so much nonsense and diarrhea that your posts are only skimmed through because of the stench.

What do you think would be the outcome of a Trumputin vs Obama election in 2028?

 

[mandrill]

Not necessarily.

But a 3rd term for Obama - or Dubya - would be non consecutive.
