It wasn't originally constitutionally required, but presidents who served two terms have traditionally followed George Washington's example and gotten false teeth.
Huh. "Elected twice", not "served two terms"... So, even if the insurrectionist ban doesn't pan out, Trump still has to concede that he lost the 2020 election to run again.
It’s a fun bit, but no. The Electoral College elects the President so even if his harebrained bullshit was reality, he wasn’t “elected” twice.
You're looking for logical consistency where none exists.
So hear me out here. He can only be elected twice. But the text of Article 2 says in the event of a tie, no one reaching a majority, or fuckery, Congress "chooses" the president.
I'll be over here ordering more whiskey. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need it.
Oh and while there has to be an election every 4 years, Congress decides when to choose and call the electors. Yup definitely getting the good stuff.
Fucking gentleman's agreement of a country.
Oh yeah, that line of reasoning you're proposing has been done to death in the media etc. Hasn't changed shit. Because reason hasn't held any water in this particular case for a while now...
Even if Obama were eligible, I doubt that we could convince him to do it again.
He seems way too happy with retirement to want to deal with the militant toddlers that sprung up after he left.
This is the most stressful XKCD I've ever read...
I would have happily taken a third or fourth Obama term over the shitshow we actually got.
Heck, a third Clinton term instead of GWB would have been great.
Between war criminals and a sexual predator that maybe a pedo, and a dictator sexual predator who might be a pedo. Obama looks like an angel.
Amazing how no revolution happen in the state yet.
The ship of Theseus problem is easily solved with paperwork and IDs
Yep, Obama already faked his papers. Everyone knows he was born in Norway
What if Obama replaces his body with that of a robot?
Better him than Nixon.
The brain and the soul make the man, not the body. Unless we're talking about Mr. Universe champions, or other elite athletes.
Molecules aren't cells.
But mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.
I thought it was midi-chlorian. How else could synthesis coordinate without a standard protocol?
I heard lemmy was doing good so I came by to try it out again, and after seeing this realized I haven't been seeing xkcd comics for awhile
Oh man I was just talking about this topic yesterday. How surreal! :o
