The 22nd amendment to the US Constitution bars Trump as a viable candidate for the Office of the President. It would require an additional amendment to be possible and there’s no way that 3/4ths of all US states will agree to that shit.
The only potential loophole that I can discern is that there’s no clear consensus on if Trump would be allowed to run as Vice-President on someone else’s ticket. If he can, then, theoretically, he could run for VP and then have the elected President immediately resign, making him the President again.
He absolutely could do that. The amendment specifically says elected to the office of the President, it does not prohibit attaining the office by any other means.

I no longer believe the process and laws of our government will apply to this administration. We’ll see.
Or he’s gonna wipe his ass with the Constitution in an X live stream and declare Jan 6 “National Patriots Day” while Fox commentators claim he’s joking.
The 22a says he can’t be elected. But that doesn’t make him ineligible to serve. The wording presents a loophole that our highly partisan Supreme Court could drive a truck through.
Not without Supreme Court fuckery. As it stands, he’d be eligible to serve as Speaker, but he’d be skipped in the line of succession if it were applicable.
Of course, trusting the Supreme Court to actually follow the rules seems naive at best these days.
There’s a whole bunch of stuff in different parts of the constitution and us code that mention intelligibility in the line of succession. There might be a loop hole around this though I am no constitutional law expert

So right at the end of the 12th amendment there’s this line.
So as of his presidential win this election he’s ineligible to be vice president.

The Supreme Court will just “interpret” that away.
With as much as this Supreme Court is riding Trump’s dick I wouldn’t put it past them to rule in his favor if this made it to them.
Could he then be nominated Speaker of the House, and then have the President and Vice-President resign?

I’m pretty sure no.

If they do it, it will be by suspending the constitution entirely. Don’t need any states for that.
Would Trump even hold a candle to motherfucking Obama? 3rd candancy isn’t just for Trump…
