    I don't necessarily disagree with you, but at the time the argument was over term limits and I proposed my alternative to see if people would buy in on it.

    This 3rd term for Trump is pure fantasy conjecture designed to distract us from the true goings-on. Red herring...

    Also, chances are Trump may not live out of this term even though he is the most fittest person in the all-time history of the earth...

    Yep, the p 25 folks have a much longer term plan in mind, and our best interests are not at the center of that; theirs are.

    Actually Trump is also barred because he says he won in 2020 so he was elected in successive elections This congressman wants to run for statewide office and wants Donald's love.

    What happened to liberals claiming the constitution was a living and evolving document? Now they cling to it. Soon they'll be quoting from the Federalist Papers

    Giving the Orange One a third term would still require a Constitutional Amendment. It's never going to happen. That being said conservatives also believe that the Constitution is a living and evolving document considering that they support the Citizens United decision and nowhere in the text of the First Amendment does it say that campaign contributions are protected free speech.

    Seems the pubs in Congress would realize that they need to repeal the 22nd amendment before they pass this foolish law. Otherwise, the Supreme Court will declare it unconstitutional.
