    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.
