    European here. Is a third term actually illegal/unconstitutional or is it “just” defacto illegal/unconstitutional?

      It’s the 22nd Amendment

      No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

      Pretty unambiguous.

      Extending his rein would mean he either Stops Elections, gets the constitution amended, or most insidious… just refuses to transfer power, and seeing if our military is actually complicit with the pedophile class against its own citizenry.

      Jan 6 is going to completely embolden them to try again. Is there enough MAGA to make it happen again despite it all?

      EDIT: extended rant

        The wording on that second part confuses me but Canadian here so I’ve only ever voted in elections for local representation as we don’t vote for prime minister the Crown’s representative picks them. Does the vice president just get to serve the rest of the term without actually being elected? I honestly just assumed a second election was held and the vice president served in the interim.

          The second part means that if you took over as President during someone else’s term (for example if you were VP when the President died and took over) and served for two years or more of that term, you can only serve one more term. So however you become President, you can’t serve more than two terms.

    “Because Joe Biden cheated!”

    “So what you’re saying is you deserve a term to replace the one you lost in 2020?”

    “Yes!”

    So, is our military going to need to step up to ensure a fair election next year, and also prevent Trump from taking office again? That is, assuming he, A) lives that long, and B) somehow pulls this off. Isn’t that why they are required to swear an oath to the Constitution, and not the President? Does that actually hold any water?

      Look, if the U.S. Military were going to uphold the Constitution he already wouldn’t be President anymore.

          As an outsider. The big danger appears to be how your country has also armed your police and now customs people as if they’re military too. Things could start to get very messy very fast.

        Every single person in the military swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.

        Domestic enemies like Donald Trump pose a much greater threat to our country than any conventional combatant with a gun or missile - the military is already oath-bound to engage him the same way they do any other enemy.

        The inaction from them so far doesn’t paint a very promising picture regarding their willingness to actually do what’s right to protect our country; but we also don’t need the entire military to unite against that traitor: we just need a single one of them with the right training to apply through skills.

        Servicemen and women: please actually do your job.

          you obviously have no idea what “do your job” means here… military are trained to kill, do you really want them to “do their job” in US streets?

            You’re sorta missing the point. Nobody is talking about having the military issuing parking tickets here.

            It’s about Trump running for office, and Congress/the courts saying “no”.

            Who does the military listen to? Do they obey Trump’s orders to enforce his will at polling places?

            Don’t conflate ‘doing their job’ with the misuse of force they’re famous for. We need them to do their actual job, not just blindly follow orders into a series of war crimes.

            military are trained to kill, do you really want them to “do their job” in US streets?

            Yes, contingent on those streets being populated by enemies of the US like Donald Trump / members of his regime / ICE.
