Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

As best as I can tell, the 22nd amendment talks about how no-one can serve more than two terms. It does not, however, give a limit on how long a second term can be.
As such he wouldn't need to touch that particular amendment to retain power, and so I can't accept the bet.
It took a minute to find the right place, but the four-year maximum term length is actually set in Article II section 1 of the Constitution proper.
And now bear in mind that Donnie is quoted as being in favour of "termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." should the circumstances require it.
He's going to try it. And since he's immune from prosecution, what's going to be done about it if he doesn't leave?
This is it.
Either that, or instate emergency powers using the rules already in place. He's already tested the fence enough to see that the "checks and balances" don't actually affect what he does.
