I’m not making that up. Earlier this year there were conservatives floating that and it’s come up again. Trump has floated it in speeches… all they would need is the Supreme Court to say ok. Another way would be to say the 22nd requires enabling legislation. There is recent precedent from the Colorado eligibility case that makes this line of thought plausible. And with no enabling legislation related to term limits just like that he’s running for a third term as long as the court says ok. If he’s able to add a Justice or two onto the court it becomes not so far fetched.

Your side opened this can of worms. I’m just talking about what they’ve said.

Let the American Conservative explain it to you:
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/trump-2028/

That person is arguing for repeal. But since that isn’t halo happening they’ll get the court to rule on it. But make no mistake… there is a faction on the right that wants this.

Oh and P.S…
The author of that was a Project 2025 contributor.

:rollin :rollin :rollin

Definitely tin foil hat time!

It's not there, RT. Read the first sentence.

I suspect Vance could run for President, with Trump as VP though.
Section 1. 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. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.
Psalm 139:13 ~ For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

Jeremiah 1:5 ~ "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you;

Exodus 20:13 ~ “You shall not murder."

Considering how old he will be at the end of this term, if he lives the entire term due to his horrible diet and being overweight, he will probably have enough mental decline it wouldn't be possible.

Probably not… but I don’t think that Will necessarily stop his supporters. I mean the guy who wrote that article I linked to went out of his way to say “82 isn’t that old and if the people are clamoring for more Trump then how can we possibly still be free and deny them their will?”.

I’m almost sure it’ll leak. There are Senators who are desperate to torpedo that nomination.

There are loopholes in the 22nd amendment…
For example Trump as speaker or as VP candidate behind Vance and the folks in front of him resigning so he can be president again and he simply nominates Vance as VP. But the bottom line is that this Supreme Court has shown no qualms overturning precedent or interpreting things in whatever way it sees fit.

The Department of (in) efficiency will be hiring folks to work 80 hour weeks directly from the top 1% of resumes submitted on X. One requirement is a verified account on X for $8 a month. Another is that you accept the fact that you’ll do these 80 hour weeks with no compensation.

The court martial’s over the Afghanistan withdrawal and sham revenge prosecutions are looming… the transition team is compiling a list of current and former officials to prosecute despite it being a failure of both the Trump and Biden administrations in various ways.

Also with Gaetz potentially looming as AG and Trump wanting revenge folks associated with the FBI and DOJ have begun to reach out to lawyers:

Meanwhile Elon Musk is running around where he probably shouldn’t be. Talking to the Iranian Ambassador and sitting in on a call with Zelenskyy.

So Trump will declare a national emergency and deploy the military to assist with deportations on day one:

If I’m not mistaken some of the beemers of the world rolled their eyes and called us crazy…

I also saw some talk of hundreds of thousands deported in the first either hundred days or 6 months… it’s gonna happen fast.

Day one? Isn't that the same day on which he promised to become a dictator?

On day one we'll have been inFlorida for two weeks, if we haven't managed to sell our place by then. Will we be among the deportees? I'd better be using a lot of sun screen the keep my skin nice and white.
