Because FDR won so many times in a row - the constitution was changed to only allow a president a maximum of two terms. It's the 22nd Amendment. So it's 100% obviously illegal and anti-constitutional for Trump to run for a third term. There's zero gray area on this. But I think the GOP justices on the supreme court will pervert the constitution somehow (Don't ask me how) and they'll say Trump can run for a third term. If GOP SCOTUS does that - they've crossed the Rubicon. The constitution becomes a meaningless joke. GOP SCOTUS has proclaimed they can and will do whatever they want.
I believe if GOP SCOTUS decides to rule on Trump's desire to run for a third term - that's the day Trump has already won his third term. And Trump clearly wants a third term. In 2024 - GOP SCOTUS's presidential immunity ruling created a monster when Trump won the election. They effectively killed his three big criminal trials and they helped him become president because they wanted him to win. But they also made it so criminal law doesn't apply to President Trump. If GOP SCOTUS seem to waiver on Trump's third term - he could threaten them with imprisonment, torture, or death.
Liberals think that if Trump can run for a third term then Obama can do right? Obama will win! Ah, no. That's not how things will happen. Trump has already won and presidential elections will be a sham and charade.
if trump won in 2020 this is currently his 3rd term
I think if trump dies in office, Vought has a plan to get rid of the Vice so that GrindrMike will be president, who he controls. I think it has been the secret goal of P2025 since it's inception for christians to take control of the nation and force everyone to pretend they believe those stories. Gays and trans executed, women lose all rights to anything but tradwife.
Oh, shit. I remembered the line of succession wrong. I thought Chuck Grassley was second but of course you're right - Johnson is second. Grassley is third. One more thing to worry about.
