Least Nixon had the bottle to leave
I understand his confusion here… the phrase is “consecutive sentences.”
Term 1 is to fail miserably
Term 2 is to make plans for a presidential term
Term 3 is to finally step up to the plate?
I can't imagine a suggest that makes him sound more incompetent lol
What it sounds like to me, and apparently only me, is that he is saying here he is currently running for his third term since he "won" in 2020. Of course he has made comments before about how he likes how Putin and Xi keep getting to stay in power and wished he could do that, but it would help his cause if he could win the popular vote just once over his lame opponents.
Imagine if Democrats actually nominated someone worth voting for rather than just us voting against Trump. But I guess that's too much to ask for.
That's how I understood it too. I'll be first to believe he wants to change that law but this article is trash
i mean, statistically there have been at least one president with more than two terms before.
This was also before there was a law that prevented it from happening.
An Amendment has been repealed before by another.
The last amendment took over 202 years to get ratified. I’m not sure another amendment can really get passed anytime in the distant future.
ok well this one was actually a shitpost, it was passed by a college kid who got a bad grade on a paper about that amendment specifically.
it just happened to be written up 200 years ago, without a deadline, and then as a result, it passed recently when it received renewed interest. Most amendments and bills, and shit like this have a dead line, to prevent this kind of shit from happening lol.
tru tru.
But that doesn't mean it isn't still currently a law.
Just stop listening to him already...
And all that without even getting slammed or flattened. I guess he got away with it this time.
You know, FDR 16 years – almost 16 years – he was four terms. I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?
Sounds like he's just questioning whether the current Biden term is actually considered a Trump term. Just the usual election denial from him and the NRA crowd.
How appropriate.
FDR was president for 4 terms, a constitutional amendment can be repealed by another, see: alcohol prohibition
