  Why? Because it’s against the law? When has that ever stopped him?

  Whether or not he physically can, the narrative is already be sown for him to be appointed as a member of the order of succession that isn’t elected, with his stooges running for the elected positions, then opting to resign… making him president again. Regardless how they do it, puppet president or order of succession, you’ve/we’ve given the dictator the power already, he isn’t going to give it up easily.

  He doesn’t have to. The technocrats are in there now, they won’t need Trump in 2028, he’ll be discarded and they’ll run JD or Elon himself.

    Elon cant run, unless he is made speaker of the house and both president and vice resigns.

  All he has to do, to do it legally, is get enough Republicans that support him elected to make a constitutional amendment. It won’t be very hard with the rampant corruption that is almost certainly already happening. And that’s only if he even gives a shit about it appearing legal, which I doubt he does.

    Amendments require 2/3 of senators first, and then 3/4 of state legislatures to ratify. Republican senators can’t make a constitutional amendment on their own, even if 2/3 of the Senate voted for a proposed amendment, it still has to go to the states.

    Needs approval by 3/4 of state legislatures; it’s not enough to control the US congress. Supreme court shenanigans or some other BS is much more likely.

  Who said anything about re-election? Perhaps a coronation?

  Run Vance and Vance signs order making Trump president as he resigns.

    Doesn’t work. He’s not even technically able to hold office until he admits he wasn’t elected three times. One can only be elected twice, you don’t even need to hold the office just win twice and your ineligible to be elected again.

  There is a legit way that he can do it that I’d respect and accept… get 2/3 of Congress or 2/3 of state legislatures to agree and then have 3/4 of states ratify. Good luck with that.

  The article ignores the possibility that the 22nd Amendment can be interpreted by the Supreme Court in a favorable way to Trump.

  But a clone of him could.

    That’s the most terrifying thing I’ve ever read

  He sure can (but doesn’t have to) if he continues to turn the U. S. into a fascist hellhole.
