It wasn’t originally constitutionally required, but presidents who served two terms have traditionally followed George Washington’s example and gotten false teeth.

Huh. “Elected twice”, not “served two terms”… So, even if the insurrectionist ban doesn’t pan out, Trump still has to concede that he lost the 2020 election to run again.

It’s a fun bit, but no. The Electoral College elects the President so even if his harebrained bullshit was reality, he wasn’t “elected” twice.
You’re looking for logical consistency where none exists.
Oh yeah, that line of reasoning you’re proposing has been done to death in the media etc. Hasn’t changed shit. Because reason hasn’t held any water in this particular case for a while now…
So hear me out here. He can only be elected twice. But the text of Article 2 says in the event of a tie, no one reaching a majority, or fuckery, Congress “chooses” the president.
I’ll be over here ordering more whiskey. I’m pretty sure I’m going to need it.
Oh and while there has to be an election every 4 years, Congress decides when to choose and call the electors. Yup definitely getting the good stuff.
Fucking gentleman’s agreement of a country.
