If Trump is cleared for a third term? Why not Obama?
Hadnt even thought about it that way.

We are living in another form of government right now.
Illegal EO's are the same as Kingly edicts.

(25,994 posts)so that he could run more than 2 terms? Oh yeah, Putin did 2 terms as president, then 4 years as Prime Minister, then reset his terms as president back to zero so now he can run for 2 more terms.
Trump got the idea from Putin.

One thing for sure, if they dont ask or propose, it is for sure it wont happen. So just brace yourself fellow DUers. They gonna keep on putting things out like a firehose on full blast. Theyre hoping we wont be paying close attention.

(36,394 posts)He can create a new position of authority and run for that. How about Prime Minister? We don't have any of those, but Chump could create it. Maybe even call it a position that doesn't need to be "elected." Then appoint himself as the new Prime Minister of the USA.
Pootie wasn't term-limited, but he was unable to run for more than 2 consecutive terms. So that's why he became "Prime Minister" of Russia for awhile, now he's back to being "President" again.
Chump is term-limited because our Constitution says that nobody can be President for more than 10 years. It would take a Constitutional amendment to change that, and it would never happen in his lifetime.
