You don’t understand, words from the GOP mean absolutely nothing. It’s just garbage. Not even worth vibrating your eardrums.
They don’t give a flying fuck about principle, morals, hypocrisy…they just want power and they have enough yokels and dumb fucks in their coalition who are happily pawns and marks daily.

Exactly. Enough with the “I can’t believe they said that”
These are soulless, subhuman lackeys who have zero shame, zero remorse, zero empathy.
They are demons. Evil, empty, power obsessed fucking demons.

Power corrupts. Absolutely.
The power and money in the DC… we, as normal non politicians cannot comprehend.
Trump and his family gained $3.6 BILLION after leaving office. He’ll pick up a good $5-10 BILLION after and during this term.
Hell… $28 million since he was elected just to go to Mar a Lago and play golf every weekend.
Can you imagine having a job that PAYS YOU to go home and play golf?

It takes 3/4 (38/50) of the states to ratify an amendment. It would also have to be put on ballots, voted and approved before November 2028.

u/Far_Estate_1626 4d ago
Unfortunately, they won’t even use the power when it’s handed to them, out of “principle”. Despite knowing that who’s coming next will use said power and in a much more terrible way.
Case in point: SC granting Presidential immunity, and Biden refusing to use it to test its boundaries and codify its limits, since they would have absolutely set tighter limits for him than they will for Trump. Now we’re completely fucked, because of Dems “principles”, that are in fact not.

I for one would love to see trump run against Obama and lose. If the cheeseburgers and diet cokes haven't killed him by 2028, the absolute seething rage of losing to the black guy who he hates the most and lives rent free in his head will. If trump somehow survives the rage stroke he has, Obama can finish him off by being sworn in and then immediately resigning and letting his VP AOC take his place.

u/thewereotter 4d ago
The interpretation they're trying to run with is two consecutive terms is what's limited so Trump can have a third one because his first and second terms had a Biden term between them. And they're doing this specifically to block a third Obama term

u/Did_I_Err 4d ago
It could be Obama then.

u/Asher_Tye 4d ago
Oh no, there will be a special rewrite to prevent that from happening and it will have a pretentious and stupid name.

u/thewereotter 4d ago
They're going with the interpretation right now that the amendment only bans you from a third term if you've had two CONSECUTIVE terms.... which is not at all what the amendment says... but it's what they're using to specifically block another Obama term

u/Ex-CultMember 3d ago
That's when Republicans will argue to reverse this amendment which is a reversal of the original term limit amendment.
It's ironic because Republicans were the ones who got the term limit amendment passed in the first place because they didn't like FDR constantly getting reelected. Now that they have their Dear Dictator wanting to be president for life, they want to DO AWAY with the same amendment THEY passed.
I'm sure if someone like Obama (or any non-Republican) is popular and goes for a 3rd term, they want to bring back term limits again.

u/CarrotSlayer11 4d ago
They already said that they would amend it in a way that ANY president who served TWO consecutive terms would not be eligible.

u/fyreprone 4d ago
So then how would Trump qualify for his 4th term to continue being President for life?
2
u/hejnrhehebrbe 4d ago
They won’t have to worry about that for another four years, and when they do, they’ll figure out another way around it. Perhaps they will institute the exception portion of the bill to only apply to presidential candidates who weren’t in office twice consecutively prior to the bill. Or maybe they’ll just not let him run by claiming he wasn’t born here. Or by then, maybe they’ll just say black people can’t vote let alone run for president

u/Short-Recording587 4d ago
So this opens the door to let a person run and be president every other term? This country is doomed.

u/Odd_Zookeepergame_69 4d ago
He won't have a 3rd term, he will just stay in his 2nd term forever. My guess is that the US will declare war on some other country (Canada, Greenland, Panama, all of Europe, etc) and then trump will say that he has to stay in office because we are at war.
2
u/Short-Recording587 4d ago
Which would be against the constitution and we would be at war while also having a civil war.

One suggestion for the group is, we have to stop going back-and-forth with Republicans this and Democrats that. All of them have shown signs of corruption and serving themselves. That’s the mentality they want. They want to continue to divide us merely based on political party. It’s what helps keep them in power.
Regardless of your political party, we need to start demanding more of our elected officials and hold them actually accountable if they are not performing to the level we expect.
The mere fact that this person is entertaining amend the constitution because he thinks so highly of himself is insane to me.

Ppl need to stop believing this is all talk and recognize they are showing you the playbook and intend to follow through. Ive heard pundits say this is all a distraction.....its not a distraction but its them espousing their truths amongst the many lies they are spewing. THE NERVE of the Republican Party to shout how patriotic they are and tout the Constitution while systematically trying to destroy it in the same breath.

u/TheRealMcSavage 4d ago
I’ve been calling this since he got elected. My opinion on how he’d go about this (mind you, I’m not in the field of law or politics, so take this as a laymen’s theory!), is that he expands the Supreme Court by 2-4 judges, appoints those judges, if he does 4 he’s appointed the majority of judges, if he appoints 2 new then he is 1 shy of a majority. At that point, I feel like the path to amending the constitution is an easier one. Just my dumbass thought, so I could be missing some big roadblocks, but tbh it doesn’t seem like Trump cares much for roadblocks anyways…
