      ''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.

      Why aren’t the “left” arming themselves while an obvious fascist takes power? “LOL”

          I know a few but when I tell people online to prepare they’re mostly dismissive if not outright hostile. I’m sure most of them will disavow any politics and kneel when it’s time to rat on their neighbors.

    “It is imperative that we provide President Trump with every resource necessary to correct the disastrous course set by the Biden administration,” Ogles said in a statement

    so Biden created a bad situation for him in 4 years, yet he thinks Trump needs 8 years to undo it. Sounds like a skill issue to me.

      Why are y’all still fighting about this? Your farce of an election is over, what purpose does this ceaseless bickering serve?

      Fuck you, that wasn’t why Trump won. It was because Dems offer nothing but the avoidance of something worse.

      I’m outraged at the genocide and voted for Biden anyway. People can be mad at Dems and demand better without being responsible for their failure.

        The American people failed.

        This was fucking advertised. This was chosen. This was voted for.

        Stupidest populous on earth.

    Huh, the stupid party always screaming dumb things like “term limits” just cannot prostrate themselves enough in front of donvict, and completely reversing themselves.

    Imagine that.

    It’s cute how so many in the comments think the legal checks will prevent this. They don’t care about the law or the Constitution in the same way they don’t care about optics, hypocrisy, decorum, or process. People keep viewing this through the lense of American democracy. None of that matters to fascists.

      In the end, the country isn’t a democracy. It’s a complicated system with complicated interactions.

      It’s really not impossible that a democracy turns into fascism.

        Thought about that regarding the current events in Germany. If people democratically vote for fascism, that’s still a democratic vote. Only the outcome might be less democratic (or not at all) but at least once people choose this path willingly, following democratic rules.

        At the end it’s perfectly legal to do this. The question is more if it’s good or bad. It maybe even stupid. But here we are.

      They care about the law the same way the nazi’s cared about the law until the night of the long knives. I suspect their mass deportation plan is really them gearing up for the night of the long knives 2.0.

      Yeah, people don’t seem to truly understand this, and I fear it will take something extreme before they do… And it’s likely already too late now, let alone by then.

      After four years of them being in power, he’ll probably just be able to…not leave, regardless of any election. Who would stop him?

        Trump even said he shouldn’t have left in 2020. So think that is the plan already.

        Presumably someone with better aim than the last shooter.

        I’d be very careful as a wannabe dictator in a land with this many guns. The next four years are going to be tense for everyone.

    In order for it to pass, they need 290 votes in the House. The Republicans currently have 220 votes, so they would need 70 Democrats to flip.

    Then it goes to the Senate where they need 67 votes. First, 60 to get past the inevitable filibuster, and with 53 votes, Republicans need 7 Democrats to flip to move it forward and 14 to pass it.

    Then, the fun part, they need 38 states to ratify it. Trump did win 31 states, so he would still need 7 Harris states to ratify an amendment.

    He will be too old. All presidents should follow the 2 term rule. FDR should have followed it.
