FUCK THAT!

Though the 22nd Amendment prohibits Trump from being elected president again, it does not prohibit him from serving as president beyond Jan. 20, 2029. The reason for this is that the 22nd Amendment only prohibits someone from being “elected” more than twice. It says nothing about someone becoming president in some other way than being elected to the office.

@jeff

Article II of the Constitution specifically defines the term of the presidency as four years. By law it ends four years after it starts, regardless of electoral shenanigans and anything else discussed in that Conversation piece. Between Article II and the 22nd Amendment, there's no legal way for him to remain president after this term ends.

[I am aware that the corrupt SC could attempt to nullify additional provisions of the Constitution when called on.]
