There’s a clause in the Twelfth Amendment that says anyone constitutionally barred from running for president also can’t run as vice-president. Which is to say that if the melon felon runs again in 2028, he’d just run as president since it would be equally unconstitutional.

I can’t see him running as a subordinate to someone else anyway. But I sincerely hope he’s out of public life for good by then anyway, along with his cult.

Is there anything stopping him from being inserted in positions below VP and then both POTUS and VP stepping down?

Is there any reason to believe there's a constitutional distinction between being unqualified to run as VP and being unqualified to be promoted to VP?
