Prediction for Trump’s 2nd Term: I believe Trump will announce he will be seeking a third term as president for the 2028 election due to him “being cheated” in 2020. He’ll declare it an “official act” and the supreme spurt will allow him to run. Am I off base with this? What do you think?

I know people are doomer about this, but the text is extremely direct about how this works.

It literally says you cant serve more than two terms.    Theres no caveat to colorfully interpret.

Yea but it doesnt say that.  Thats the excuse Putin used, but it LITERALLY says “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”.  In Russia’s case, they actually did use the term “consecutive,” hence why he was able to run a shadow govt and then official govt.

Like, theres no precedent in American history.  Theres a real path to “the president has immunity for his actions in office as they relate to his official duties,” even if theyr severely stretching the interpretation, but the amendment here is very clear. I cant even find a body of work arguing that the amendment can be interpreted as consecutive.

I always say, Rome loved Caeser.  But when Caeser orchestrated a situation where an admirer would crown him, the crowd turned against him.
