    'No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms," the amendment states. Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all served two consecutive terms, and thus would be barred from being elected to a third term. But not Trump, who is the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1892 to be elected to a second, non-consecutive term.

      So if Carter rises from the dead he can get a solid 8y in?

      So only unpopular 3 terms allowed? Yeah, that seems reasonable. Standard playbook

      This is the real power move. If trump can run again so can Obama.

        No, because Obama has been elected two consecutive terms.
