    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.

      Technically, “Election” is not the only way to become president. He is eligible for other roles in the line of succession. Speaker of the House can be anyone that the House chooses, not necessarily a member of the House.

      We’re a “Night of the Long Knives” away from the kind of bullshit that would put him back in the White House.

        It only says a person can be elected to at most two terms. It doesn’t say they can’t be perpetually elected Speaker of the House and then succeed to President when the elected President and Vice President both resign. So that’s why we need a Democratic-controlled Congress to elect Obama as Speaker and then impeach and remove Trump and Vance.

      Laws without enforcement are just words on a piece of paper.

      Not to mention, amendments have been repealed before. And if anybody thinks that Trump will do it through official channels, assuming he bothers, I have a bridge to sell them.
