Obama returns to the presidency in 2028!
''No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms," the amendment states. Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all served two consecutive terms, and thus would be barred from being elected to a third term. But not Trump, who is the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1892 to be elected to a second, non-consecutive term.
It doesn't really matter. Getting a new constitutional amendment ratified is basically impossible at this point.
bet they try to take it to the supreme court "whaaa the congress won't give me a dictatorship whaaa" and the court just fucks us all.
I really don't understand why people are adamant that this is trump's own personal court. The court is, as always, working in their own interest, and it's not in their interest to cede all their own power to trump.
Own interests? Brother, they're ancient and most are courting billionaires like Harland Crow

just one of those mysteries of life I suppose...
er, wait a moment, it's not mysterious at all, where the fuck have you been?
Not paying attention. He already served two consecutive terms. Can't run for a third unless you win a term them lose a term then win a term and need a third term to actually get shit done.
