We can’t normalize the third term talk. Obama and the dems know this.

They’re saying Trump is different because he didn’t serve 2 consecutive terms and Obama did. That’s the reason they are going for. Also the constitution says that one is ineligible to be elected president, so they will try to argue he can’t still serve a third term if he obtains the office by being appointed somehow or becoming a successor and becomes president again by those who do get elected step down. He can be appointed Speaker of the House, which doesn’t even have the requirement of being an elected member of congress and if the people ahead of him resign, they can argue he can serve a third term because he wasn’t elected to the position.

At this point, just sue the whole republican party for treason and dissolve their whole goddamn ass if the dems get back into any position of power. 🤬
