Cute that US still think they will have elections after the orange buffoon. November will be very interesting, and maybe an eye opener for the remaining septics: I’ll say it here now, trump is a fascist, a pedophile, a narcissist, and a dictator. He will not leave. He will use putin’s playbook. The rest of the world needs to wake up now and consider the US as an antagonist, same as Russia and China. I would be delighted to be wrong, wait and see I guess.
Trump cannot serve anywhere in the line of presidential succession, because he can’t be eligible to rise to a role he is Constitutionally incapable of accepting.
A former president who has served two terms is only barred from becoming the vice president. They could otherwise hold any other position in the line of presidential succession, and would be passed over if something happened to everyone in front of them. Same thing applies to the other conditions for being president such as a natural born citizen, 35 years of age, etc.
you are not wrong. What many people are missing here is that Trump is currently the most powerful human being on earth and everyone outside his power circle is wasting their time if they think they can influence his decisions. He has routinely demonstrated the law does not apply to his government and may even run for 3rd term or outright, cancel the elections because “we are at war”. He already replaced the president in Venezuela, and will do the same for Iran and Russia. China and India are actual paperweights with the illusion of a billion count human population each. That will not faze him.
He’s already looking to disenfranchise many tens of millions of voters if he’s unable to cancel the midterm elections wholesale.
I’m sure that if there ever will be elections again, they will be purely performative and with a foregone conclusion, just like how North Korea has “elections”.

Let’s say that he won’t run for a third term.
JD Vance becomes POTUS.
Trump wouldn’t accept being VP.
What position can he take within a cabinet, assuming that no one prosecutes him and throws him in a cell where he belongs?

Why would he? He had zero interest in politics. He just likes being president because it’s the top job. Anything less than that is worthless to him.
