That’s how Putin did it; probably the guy guiding all of this.
They have term limits over there in Russia as well, but they have interpreted it as “only allowed X years in a row”…so Putin installs a crony for 1 session every X years, and then magically wins the votes by a landslide every other time.
That’s what they’ll end up doing. They’ll ‘interpret’ it as consecutive terms, and we’ll get 8 years of Trump, then 4 of Vance, then 8 of Trump, etc.
We’re talking about Donald Trump here… you could replace him with an animatronic muppet and the only thing people would notice is that he looked healthier and didn’t smell as bad.
Russian Constitution literally had this phrase “A same person cannot be a President for more than two terms in a row”, so it was already opened for an interpretation they did. This actually had changed for just “two terms” in 2020, but provided another excuse for Putin to be elected.
Anyhow, in US Constitution the 22nd amendment says that “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”, so there is no room for interpretation. Even conservative SCOTUS would not do that.
They’d write off Trump by then anyway. They’d hand the reigns to Vance, and go FULL project 2025 while keeping the Magats allegiance to Vance, while extending HIS term limits.
Yeah, this scenario seems… feasible. I’ve read people were contemplating Obama to run for Kamala’s VP before Waltz was chosen. And this attempt would certainly end up in Supreme Court.
I mean it’s literally right there in the Constitution without room for interpretation. If the Supes pretend to just throw that out then we’ll have an actual civil war on our hands.
That’s the scary part. They’ll gladly approve his term limit extension.

Your scenario implies Trump lives to 98, and unless the preservatives in big macs are the key to longevity, I doubt he makes it that long.
Yeah, I keep actually forgetting how fucking OLD that guy is…yeesh.

I don’t think we have the technology to mimic turnip’s lips 👄 other than that, 100%

Not that my scenario is any better.
Who are “they”? Child trafficking democrats? Oh, sorry, it was from another conspiracy theory.
No offense, I just think that the idea of some masterminds ruling everything from behind the curtains is a bit ridiculous.
No, you’re right. It’s essentially the same as “God’s will”.
A mysterious power you can’t see or prove that manipulated everything you don’t understand.
It’s a really easy rut to fall into.
Run for VP with crony as pres. crony resigns. Wasn’t elected as President. Loophole!

Well then they will have to slightly extend the term (until death do them part)
