Its not hypothetical. Its straight out against the constitution.
Order of succession is one thing they are looking at.
JD runs for prez. Someone else as VP. trump as speaker ~~VP~~.
Daddy Warbucks buys/rigs elections.
JD wins.
JD resigns. VP resigns.
Trump is acting prez.
He didn't run nor was elected as prez. But he can become acting prez via order of succession.
Voilà. 3rd term.
For reference https://thehill.com/opinion/5204688-steve-bannon-trump-third-term/
"But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
-12th Amendment
Also, succession skips other people who would be ineligible, as the requirements for being a member of the House allow people who are ineligible to be President to serve as Speaker of the House, who is otherwise 3rd in line.
Fair enough. Then he becomes speaker and then
So he acts as president.
Point being. If you think there isn't a loophole they won't exploit you haven't been paying attention.
Everybody is trying to figure out the storyline arc to this bs, like some Netflix series. Maybe people will stop voting for celebrities and reality TV stars, I hope.
