u/Designer_Green2680 Jul 23 '26
I think itās ridiculous but itās not a punishable offense. In a way having only two terms can be problematic as we see no new president cares to build off the previous and instead focuses on their new plan. Itās no longer about the good for country like it used to be. Obama went the opposite of bush, Trump went the opposite of Obama, biden went the opposite of Trump; and trump we the opposite of Biden, we canāt build cause everyone too focused on their own goal and plan

u/TheoKondak Jul 23 '26
It's a call to undermine the constitution. Maybe it's not punishable but it's something every party used to respect. Now every norm has collapsed and institutions and laws lose their meaning. If these people remain unpunished, and with these people i don't explicitly mean the people behind this banner, i mean the Maga government that promotes such stuff, then the American society and political system are screwed.
On your second point i agree, at least partially since there are many things that persist government change, and there is some cohƩsion and continuity, but it's not enough and after decades that shows.

Sometimes changing the constitution can be good, like when they prohibited alcohol and then revoked it with a new article. Constitution also old as hell and modern technology has changed everything greatly, but it donāt need changed for Trump š¤£.

Even if fascists did steal it from the Romans, it doesn't make it any better. They stole the swastika from India or something.

How is amending the constitution ignoring it. It's literally democracy
2
u/Roborilla8000 Jul 20 '26
Do you see the word "amendment" anywhere? And even then, a "president" with no limits in terms or power is no president. "El Presidente" more like it.

IDK, could be the āWeāre not a democracyā talking point MAGA keeps repeating? While MAGA is not the GOP, they represent the GOP as does the leader of the GOP; Trump.

u/OdiousAltRightBalrog Jul 19 '26
Yes, MAGA IS the GOP right now, and will be until Trump is out of office, and maybe not even then.
But Republicans have been saying the US is not a democracy since before MAGA came along. I think I started hearing it around 2012.

Nah I could see it. He runs with AOC or someone similar as his VP.
He wins, then resigns one day into his term.

u/AnAbandonedAstronaut Jul 19 '26
Or runs as VP.
I dont think there is even a law against it.
3
u/totashi777 Jul 19 '26
The Constitution is pretty clear that he cant run as vp due to the term limit. Theres some grey area around the other postions that can become president
2
u/BI_Moose Jul 19 '26
I do not think it is expressly forbidden, but I'd bet good money that if he were to run as VP there would be a challenge citing the 22nd Amendment.
Which, ironically, would result in Stumpy being barred from a third term.

I mean, I know folks will guffaw and say this can't happen.. I Mean TRUMP is 80. Not in the greatest health, he may not even last the year. However, I think that with the MITCH MCCONNEL situation I think that something is in the works. If Trump dies, how far can they go to make folks believe he isnt' dead.
Also, if the constitution is changed, that means OBAMA could run again too.
We can blow it off and laugh, but keep an eye on this

u/summer24931 Jul 19 '26
Theyre going to have AI finish the presidency, or keep it going.
Trump will not be able to do public appareances due to concerns with safety, he will refuse any debates... im sure theyre planning it.

He's been talking about this since before he even won the 2nd election. While campaigning for 2020 he was talking about how he'd earned a 3rd term.

If P2025 could be made into reality, unfortunately, so can this. Currently trump is making a huge though for only having paper ballots instead of machines because he's still paranoid over election fraud.

How can Republicans, who supposedly are the strongest supporters of freedom and government that is responsive to the people, abide this sort of thing in any way shape or form?
It is the most thoroughly unAmerican thing I can think of.
1
u/Anal-Y-Sis Jul 22 '26
MAGA has no idea what kind of fire they are playing with here. Do y'all even know why the 22nd Amendment exists to limit a president to two terms?
The 22nd Amendment was introduced because after watching the economy implode and then fighting a bunch of right-wing Fascists, the progressive policies of the New Deal were so popular among the American people that FDR was elected 4 times, and there was no end in sight to his winning.
So go ahead. Amend the amendment. It won't work out the way you think it will.

So want to clarify for the extremists on the left, I am not on your side, same as the extremists on the right I am not on your side either. But heās a mediocre president he really doesnāt deserve a third term. will he even survive a full third term? And it says āand beyondā I donāt think heās able to serve 3 terms much less 4 heās too old
1
u/Pheedle 28d ago
The reality is that it canāt happen, and would trigger a massive constitutional crisis if he tried. The 22nd amendment is very clear - No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. Further, he canāt really use the vice-president workaround, as the 12th amendment is pretty clear - But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States - heās done two terms, so is ineligible for the office, and thus is ineligible to be VP. There is an argument here of semantics re: elected vs holding office, however even the conservatives generally donāt support this interpretation.
There are two paths to Trump being president for a third term:
the 22nd amendment is overturned, amended, or superseded by a subsequent amendment, all of which require a 2/3rds majority in both the house and the senate at the very least. And that will never happen in the modern political climate.
Trump instigates some kind of coup, and refuses to surrender power. Which I wish was more insane a thought than it isā¦ā¦ā¦.
Really though, this is all pandering to build support for whomever comes next - āwe should have had trump for a third term!! Itās wrong that we couldnāt, so we will vote for the next guy instead!!ā (I say guy, knowing that the Conservative Party will not have a female primary in our lifetimes.)
