1. I'm fine with another Trump term as long as it is a long prison term. n/t

[Uncle Joe]

2. *rump

would be a literalist on the 22nd Amendment.

Section 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. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Nothing there says he can't run as a Vice-President, the then pseudo elected President (perhaps Vance) would presumably resign after being elected allowing *rump to take over as President.

Thanks for the thread TexasTowelie
