..that didn't take long; Congressman proposes a 3rd term for Trump

[Truth7t7]

President Trump’s already the oldest person ever inaugurated. Why stop at three.

President Trump will be done on Jan 20, 2029, it will be the young brilliant (VP JD Vance) for eights years after Trump, MAGA "America First"!

Elsewhere I qualified my prediction saying that a Senator would suggest it…with the meaning that Representives have been known to make kooky suggestions from time-to-time.

A constitutional amendment takes a 2/3 supremajority in the house and senate, ain't gonna be happening anytime soon and everybody knows this, it's all flattery from a congressman that's trying to gain favor with the president

I agree a constitutional amendement will not happen. However, I am not confident the Consitution will guide the country's decsions by 2029.

If regular citizens could propose laws and get them passed, it would then be a democracy.

I Disagree, presently SCOTUS is in a 6/3 conservative majority, and cases are before the court daily shaping US law and policy and will be in 2029

Why not? President Trump already eliminated DEI, why not outlaw the Democrats?

 

[Servus]

I don't get what the debate is over. He's already The Dictator, remember?

 

[KCfromNC]

You are assuming the interpretation you believe is correct will stand. It is possible that may not be the case when it gets to the Supreme Court.

Yeah, when I read there was a "convincing argument" I guess I expected more than a guess that maybe over a hundred years of settled case law was somehow wrong for you know, reasons and such.

But perhaps that's what passes for sophisticated conservative political thought these days.

I hope you're right, God willing!

 

[RileyG]

Oh? Would Trump skip Fredo Don Jr?

Oh?

What about Ivanka Trump? The left might like her because she would be first Slavic, Jewish, female president! Talk about diversity! heh heh

How did case law work out for Roe?

Just a clump of words….

 

[Always in His Presence]

it really isn't anything unique

Remember

How many times can you run?

I wonder why B. O. doesn't run again and how many would be interested in him again?

The 22nd amendment was ratified in 1951. So it would just be a matter of the 1951 ratification being repealed via proper channels and procedure. A proviso could be added that it only applies to non-consecutive terms which so far only happen once every 125 years.

So yes it could happen, and without Trump doing a dictator maneuver.

Either measure requires the full process of a Constitutional amendment.

It would be a direct democracy. And we do have that in a lot of states.

DEI is not based on Congressional legislation (unlike Affirmative Action). DEI in the federal government was instituted by Executive Order and can be removed by Executive Order.

It’s a Constitutional Amendment not a mere Act of Congress.
Even the Supreme Court cannot nix an Amendment (as unconstitutional) otherwise the 18th would have fallen before 1933.

I don't see how your response ties into the conversation between myself and wing2000?

I’m sorry, is this not the thread about repealing the 22nd Amendment?

Last time it was said that Mike Pence would follow for 8 years after Trump, with a line of succession of Trump's children predicted after that.
