Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Steve Bannon has suggested Donald Trump could run for president again in 2028, arguing the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit might not apply since Trump’s terms weren’t consecutive.

Speaking at the New York Young Republican Club, Bannon dismissed legal barriers, echoing claims that Trump’s 2020 loss was illegitimate.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, explicitly prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice, making such a scenario highly improbable without a constitutional amendment.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney predicted Trump’s Vice President-elect JD Vance will likely be the GOP’s 2028 nominee.

Can't run for president, but can become VP as someone else's running mate before they conveniently resign on day 1 and enable 4 more years of Trump.

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 53 points 6 days ago

The VP has to be a valid presidential candidate precisely for this loophole.

The bigger problem is that this last election Trump's eligibility was challenged and the supreme court's response was "Parties can pick whoever they like to be president, we'll figure out if they are qualified later". That means the republican party is free to nominate and run Trump for president in 2028. The supreme court would only get involved if he wins the election, in which case... yeah... we've already ran an election which is a huge cluster fuck.

I'd be more worried about this scenario if Trump was a healthy 60 year old man but he's certainly not that. I'll be surprised if he makes it through this term coherent enough to maintain power.

Bro is on that ozempic and Sudafed high, he might actually make it way further than we hope, unfortunately.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Sure, no one can say how long it is but he's near the end of his rope whether he likes it or not

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 3 points 6 days ago

Maybe we're just one term away from the Emperor upon his Golden Throne

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Implying that he is coherent now.

[–] Tower@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

Spite and hatred seem to fuel a lot of old people for many years.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

They'd just roll out a deep fake and cover it up.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Ahh yes, the Medvedev route.
