The founding fathers didn’t come up with the 22nd amendment, that was done in the late 40’s after FDR was elected four times in a row. The founding fathers intentionally left that one open, I think
Yes, it was intentional. They wanted the Constitution to be revised and expanded as necessary, rather than being bad law set in stone. They were well aware they couldn’t foresee the many issues that would come up, especially over time. That’s why the Constitution is often described as a “framework” for the US’s “laboratories of democracy”.
And why wouldn’t it be?
To be a Republican is to be a grifter/conman/shitstain. Cheating is always on the table.
I know it’s hard to plan for all eventualities, but I really wish the founding fathers had covered things in a little more detail.
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice…regardless of whether the terms are consecutive.”
