    What a fucking traitor.

    That’s probably what he was privately polling the state governors for, to see if he had the votes to amend.

    Bad news … it would be an Obama/Trump ticket if they allowed more than two terms again.

      I really really really don’t want them to amend. I really, really don’t.

      But I’m about… ninety percent certain that if I see an Obama versus Trump election, I’ll need whoever breaks the news to me to be recording, because the mad laughter that erupts from me will soon be as ubiquitous as the Wilhelm scream.

      “What sound shall we use here to signify pure insanity?” “Ah, yes, queue up the flicker laughter.”

      No they worded the amendment very specifically, it’s two consecutive terms is the cutoff for whether you get a third term.

        They can word it however they like. They will never get two thirds from both the house and senate.

        Trump knows this, so he is going to try and “cheese” it and have Vance run with Trump as VP, hope they win, and then have Vance resign.

        1. Vance is gonna fuck Trump over if this happens.
        2. Trump is excluded from being the VP, he can’t go on the ballot.

        He may also try some “Speaker of the House” fuckery. Dictators are gonna try and dictate.

        Trump knows that if someone tries to take office illegally then that person can actually be attacked as a domestic threat to the Constitution … and it is perfectly legal for any US citizen to do it.
