    European here. Is a third term actually illegal/unconstitutional or is it “just” defacto illegal/unconstitutional?

      It’s the 22nd Amendment

      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

      Pretty unambiguous.

      Extending his rein would mean he either Stops Elections, gets the constitution amended, or most insidious… just refuses to transfer power, and seeing if our military is actually complicit with the pedophile class against its own citizenry.

      Jan 6 is going to completely embolden them to try again. Is there enough MAGA to make it happen again despite it all?

      EDIT: extended rant

        The wording on that second part confuses me but Canadian here so I’ve only ever voted in elections for local representation as we don’t vote for prime minister the Crown’s representative picks them. Does the vice president just get to serve the rest of the term without actually being elected? I honestly just assumed a second election was held and the vice president served in the interim.

      Y’all gotta make sure term length can’t be redefined

      You’re going to end up with presidential term limits like copywrite law

        article II, section 1, paragraph 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America:

        The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

        It’s not even in an amendment, it’s defined in the original text. No way he gets enough states together to ratify an amendment to increase his term length.

          The 22nd amendment of the United states constitution, fully ratified in 1951, begins as such:

          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.

          Term length is set to four years for the President and his VP in Article II, Section 1 of the constitution itself (original text) and has not been amended or altered.

          Trump needs 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment, he doesn’t and won’t ever have that.

    He is fully entitled to a third, life-term in prison for being a traitor. I hear Epstein’s cell is empty.

      I used to advocate for a life terms for the top MAGAs. That was after the first term, the Insurrection, and the stolen classified documents. After this second term, capital punishment is on the table.

      They should have quit while they were ahead.

        I was honestly surprised when I heard the jan 6 people crying about how unfair it is that they got prison. Generally speaking, no matter who’s wrong or right, attacking the palace/capitol/whatever tends to end in death.

          I got permabanned for REPEATING a comment that I had posted multiple times before without incident. Once Trump was inaugurated, however, I was immediately permabanned.

          My comment said something like: “Trump and his henchmen are really lucky we live in such a forgiving country. In most countries, at most times in history, on the evening of a failed coup, the traitors would have been dragged out onto the front lawn of the White House, and publicly executed, every last one of them.”

          I wasn’t saying we should do that, I was saying that they were lucky that we didn’t. It was a simple fact, but I was permabanned anyway.

        Comments like this are what keep getting me banned on Reddit, but I’ll keep saying it on every platform:

        Pedophiles get the rope. Pedophile protectors can swing alongside them. Insurrectionists and traitors get the firing squad. ICE gets to bleed out slowly.

    “Because Joe Biden cheated!”

    “So what you’re saying is you deserve a term to replace the one you lost in 2020?”

    “Yes!”
