    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.

      Laws without enforcement are just words on a piece of paper.

      Not to mention, amendments have been repealed before. And if anybody thinks that Trump will do it through official channels, assuming he bothers, I have a bridge to sell them.

      It says they can’t be elected to office. What about when he cancels elections and extends his existing term indefinitely?
