Extra extra, 80 year old fat man thinks he is going to live 8 more years
He will run and the supreme court wont shit about it by citing some bullshit legal ambiguity. Democrats in the house will whine and then say they can’t do anything about it while waving small little signs to show their indifference.
Right wing voters will vote for him again and leftists will step aside and say the democrats are just as bad
“The constitutional amendment only applies to Harry Truman”
Easy, the founding fathers didn’t say anything about term limits.
Bingo
Have they actually tried arguing that constitutional amendments are unconstitutional?
Republicans are already ignoring constitutional amendments like separation of church and state with teachers having to teach the holy bible in Oklahoma. The right doesn’t even need to rule something as unconstitutial the supreme court simply ignores them
The argument made for Trump being able to run for a 3rd term is that he didn’t have two consecutive terms. The rule of law in this country is a joke. Nobody is held accountable for any crimes, if he runs nobody is going to stop him.
OK I was asking in context of the founding fathers comment though
The constitution is an living document. The founding fathers created it as something that changes with the times. As long as the law is amended to the constitution it can’t be ruiled unconstitutional because it IS a part of the constitution. It takes a 2/3rds majority to amend the constitution and the president has to sign off on it though I think the pres can be sidestepped with a super majority vote. Amendments can be removed too with enough votes. If congress and the president decided that our government wanted turn into a monarchy then they would need to amend a monarchy into the constitution and they’d have to vote on removing term limits from the constitution. If congress decided that every one has a right to a free Nintendo switch 2 then that could be amenended too and then every american would receive a Nintendo switch. Anything can be amended!
Federal law isn’t part of the constitution and the supreme courts can rule any law unconstitutional of it violates any of the amenents. Abortion was never amended and thats why states can get away with outlawing abortion while other states can allow it.
This system only works if the checks and balances are actually working and the laws are enforced. The founding fathers knew the system would break down one day and thats why we have the second amendment.
OK but that still wasn’t my question.
But don’t worry about it
I believe death by an AR-15 bullet is considered dying of natural causes in America.
Hopefully Trump dies of a natural cause, tonight.
Let’s just hope The Simpsons are actually predicting the future
because Lisa will become president and fix everything after trump bankrupted and robbed the place? sigh, yeah
Not that
Third term is on the table? Obama should run that’d shut them up really quick.
He’s too much of a boy scout to ever do that.
What i’d do to turn back the clock to Obama’s era. I have my doubts now I’ll even be alive for a better president
So much for the “oh he’s just joking” excuse
He’s been gaslighting for over a decade now.
Remember when Obama was asked if he could run for a third, and he said he couldn’t because it’s not allowed. Imagine a President who respects the law, the Constitution, and the will of the people via Congress. Irony is that it was Republicans who put in place the term limits, so Trump is even against his party’s previous mandate.
I also remember republicans freaking out about how Obama was going to run for a third term and declare himself king even though there was absolutely no indication that anyone thought that was a good idea. He was just popular and they couldn’t handle it.
I mean Obama did drone strike an American citizen without due process but respecting some laws is better than none.
They’re just going to put his name on the ballot and run it through his hand picked judges. If we just go along with it, Elon will use Star Link to clean up the votes so he wins. Then the scotus will allow because he can’t get impeached and the Senate won’t convict.
Only solution is Luigi.
I wonder where the republicans that take the constitution so litterally are right now? If I understand right, there’s a difference between full on MAGA-cultists and actual replublicans. It’s clear the democrats are worth fuck-all at this point so I’m keen to see if there are republicans with integrety. Or you know, the democrats getting their shit together.
Trump getting elected after this term will result in JD Vance becoming president, I’m almost completely sure of that.
They’re biting their toungs and waiting to hear what to think next
Not on my watch. I actually meant that oath I took against all enemies, foriegn and domestic. Unlike Trump
Ok we get it. You want us to try something. Message couldn’t be clearer.
Cool.
Your party has proven that one can avoid taxes, but I don’t think you can avoid death as well.
At the rate Trump’s dismantling the Constitution, who really thinks there’ll be elections in 2028?
Of course there will be elections. Very few dictatorship skip elections outright nowadays.
Yeah, Trump will just win with like 270% of the vote
2028? Try next year.
Huh, did not know the next PRESIDENTAL election was in 2026. /s
Neither are we
What does he have to do to be taken seriously? It’s like a man on an active shooting spree and everyone says “he’s just kidding”
Show him the 2024 A24 Civil War movie… TV is the only thing he understands and that’ll scare him straight
I hate that A24 made a documentary of our near future.
They tried hard to focus on the moment and not “what lead to this”… but even so it was really on the nose
I hated that movie…but god that ending…
