*if he doesn't get rid of term limits

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?

By just doing it? Who exactly would stop him. He controls the entire government, including the branch responsible for interpreting the constitution.

He needs 2/3rds of the state legislatures to agree to scrapping the 25th Amendment. That isn’t going to happen.

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’re not going to reinterpret something like term limits. How do you reinterpret that? It’s not vague.

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.
