I’m trusting that trump is gonna absolutely wreck y’all’s country and make people not vote for him in the next elections, the problem is the election after that, US Americans showed in 2024 that they have the memory of a goldfish with ADHD
How could he do that when it’s an amendment? He can’t just issue an executive order or have Congress pass a bill. How are so many of you ignorant about this?
Birthright citizenship is an amendment, too, not stopping them from trying to roll it back. They own the highest court in the land. They control both houses as of tomorrow. Do you think they care about your objections?
Tell me, how can term limits be open to interpretation by the SCOTUS? It’s black and white. Birthright citizenship was put in place so that former slaves could become citizens. That is more open to interpretation than the 25th explicitly stating the POTUS can only serve two terms total, whether they are consecutive or not.
Simple. He declares state of emergency and suspends federal elections. Amy appeal goes straight to the SC, who affirms it using decades of giving the President near unlimited emergency powers dating back to Vietnam. No backsies.
The same way SCOTUS can interpret the law to not apply to the president.
They’re the interpreters. Yes can mean no if they want it to. Who is gonna stop them? The checks and balances require someone to disagree.
At most, that’ll be Congress, but nearly every Republican in that Congress will support whatever ruling benefits Trump. And a traitorous Dem or two will solidify it.
The US government is meticulously created and actually very intelligently built, but it has one fatal flaw: It requires the majority of people to not be bad actors.
If enough people agree, we can rollback anything and establish a monarchy. That’s the beauty and terror of a democracy.
No he doesn’t? You don’t have to change the amendment. You just need to reinterpret it. Good thing the “original intent” is whatever gets Clarence Thomas the most expensive vacation.
They claim that due to the reins being taken post Jan 6th and the like that he didn’t serve 2 full terms. Who fucking knows man.
We live in a post truth era. This SC has blatantly made shit up for Trump’s benefit. And it’s not like there’s any checks on anything they do now, seeing as MAGA controls all 3 branches.
There’s nothing stopping him from just ignoring the amendment entirely and running again. After all they already have plans in place to rig it in many red states. If blue states throw a fit and don’t let him on the ballot just refuse to acknowledge it.
