Donald Trump is selling "Trump 2028" caps, and he's suggested there may be a loophole to the two-term limit.

    22nd Ammendment

    What’s stopping Trump from having a puppet run for President and he as Vice President? The puppet could then step down after Inauguration Day.

    The argument I’ve heard being, the Vice President isn’t elected to the office of the President.

    Edit:

    Does the 12th Amendment negate that argument? The last sentence in the amendment seems to suggest so.

    12th Amendment

      To be VP, you have to be eligible for the top spot. Trump will have already served twice so he’s no longer eligible.

          Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson currently.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives

          So here’s a pie in the sky scenario:

          2026 - Flip the House, Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker.

          Flip the Senate with a majority large enough to impeach.

          Remove BOTH Trump AND Vance.

          President Jeffries.

      Now this is a legitimate argument discussion. How is the law interpreted. I’m not a constitutional scholar, so I have no idea. But this is a much better topic of discussion than what OP posted.

    If Donald Trump remains President beyond Jan 2029, he won’t need to be elected to do it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
