37. I suppose, depending on how literal you wanna get, yes, he can run

The text of the 22nd Amendment says: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice"

It does NOT forbid anyone from running, it just forbids them from getting elected.

So if Ms. Adelson wants to toss $250 million into the campaign of someone who by law can never take office on January 20th, 2029, I guess she's welcome to do that.

If she REALLY wants to do the country some good, she can donate that amount instead to me, since I'd turn around and donate it all to various charities and food banks, as well as cancer research and clinics that specialize in cancer treatment (Mayo Clinic, Sloan Kettering, etc.). I'd suggest it to her, but I fear my chances of being heard are less than 50%--as in about 100% less than 50%!.
