I read somewhere that his only "legal" option for becoming president for another term is by running as the vice presidential candidate, and then having whoever was voted for president resign. He wouldn't technically be elected to the presidency, and thus could exploit a loophole.

That being said, I'm certain it would be challenged in court. The fact that it could even get that far is pretty disheartening

Edit: as someone pointed out in the replies, this would not be allowed under the 12th amendment

Luckily the 12th amendment prevents that.

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States

They already blatantly ignore constitution. Per 14th amendment he already is an illegitimate president.

He will absolutely want to stay in that position until he dies. We already were let down but Congress and Judicial and looks like we are the only ones on his way.

Despite what others might be saying showing our dissatisfaction works and we should not stop and give up. If we give up, he will get exactly what he wants.

If you are not allowed to run for president I don't think you are allowed to run for vice president. Speaker of the house however ...

There's a precedent where someone would have been skipped in the chain as replacement for the president because they weren't born in the US.

Yeah, another commenter linked the part of the 12th amendment that says anyone constitutionally ineligible to run for president may not run as VP. That's quite a relief

That's not the only option.

He could have the president killed. Doesn't have to just make him resign.

It's a weird time to bring it up again though, right? Like he still has a lot of time.

Not too weird considering he held his first rally for reelection less than a month after taking office in 2017.

What a fucking traitor.

That's probably what he was privately polling the state governors for, to see if he had the votes to amend.

Bad news ... it would be an Obama/Trump ticket if they allowed more than two terms again.

I really really really don't want them to amend. I really, really don't.

But I'm about... ninety percent certain that if I see an Obama versus Trump election, I'll need whoever breaks the news to me to be recording, because the mad laughter that erupts from me will soon be as ubiquitous as the Wilhelm scream.

"What sound shall we use here to signify pure insanity?" "Ah, yes, queue up the flicker laughter."

No they worded the amendment very specifically, it's two consecutive terms is the cutoff for whether you get a third term.

They can word it however they like. They will never get two thirds from both the house and senate.

Trump knows this, so he is going to try and "cheese" it and have Vance run with Trump as VP, hope they win, and then have Vance resign.

Vance is gonna fuck Trump over if this happens.
Trump is excluded from being the VP, he can't go on the ballot.

He may also try some "Speaker of the House" fuckery. Dictators are gonna try and dictate.

Trump knows that if someone tries to take office illegally then that person can actually be attacked as a domestic threat to the Constitution ... and it is perfectly legal for any US citizen to do it.
