Delusional And Unconstitutional Ideas Of Third Term For Donald Trump!

Ronald 40 Comments

As public opinion polls make clear that Donald Trump is becoming very unpopular with his dizzying, chaotic policies after just ten weeks in office, Trump is speaking about a third term as President.

This is impossible, as the 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951 after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times to the Presidency, limits any President to two elected terms, or if succeeding to the office, a maximum of ten years is allowed,meaning only if a Vice President comes into the Presidency with less than two years left, then he could be elected twice, for a total of up to ten years.

Already, Lyndon B. Johnson, before he dropped out of the Presidential race in 1968, could have had 9 years and two months in office, while Gerald Ford, who came in with 2 years and five months left in the term, could only be elected once, but was defeated in 1976.

To overcome this amendment would require a repeal of the 22nd Amendment, and a succession amendment that changed these limitations.

But that would require a two thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, followed by support of 38 states out of 50 by majority vote in both houses of the state legislature.

Such is not going to happen, and certainly, not rapidly enough for 2028.

Clearly, Trump is delusional, with his idea that JD Vance might be elected with Trump as Vice President, and then would resign to allow Trump to come back to the White House.

But that would never happen, and still violates the 22nd Amendment.

Also, when Trump says he loves work, that is purely a lie, as he spends too much time golfing, and everyone who has observed him, knows he is lazy and does not like the details of the job, and hardly reads any important information more than one page in length.

This whole concept of a third term for Trump will never happen constitutionally, and is just a smoke screen for Trump to gain constant attention.

And his comment that he is the most popular Republican President in the past century shows his lack of knowledge and reality about Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, who had much higher public opinion support than Trump, who has never had the backing of a majority of the American people.

It is also ignoring the massive election victories of Richard Nixon in 1972 and Ronald Reagan in 1984, compared to the less than a majority victory of Trump in 2024 and his failure to win the popular vote in 2016, losing by 2.85 million votes!

    The rotting mind of a pseudo dictator.

    At his age today… I don’t see much of him lasting out this term.

    Wayne, I would think Vance would succeed to the Presidency during this term, so this is basically just an academic exercise in constitutional law!

    By that reasoning, Michelle Obama could have run for election in 2016, and Barack Obama could have been de facto president.

    Or Hillary could have been elected, then let Bill take over again.

    Republican Randy Fine is projected to win Florida’s 6th Congressional District special election. Democrats turned it into a very competitive race, suggesting trouble ahead for Republicans in 2026.

    Results are coming in for Florida’s House District 1 too. Margins for that one are going to be close as well.

    At 9 we’ll be getting results for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

    Democrats won in Wisconsin, beating the Trump-Musk candidate.

  15. Pragmatic Progressive April 2, 2025 12:20 pm

    Dems overperformed November 2024 results in Florida by an average of around 19 points, and overperformed in Wisconsin statewide by around 11 points.

    The Senate voted to confirm Dr. Oz to head Medicare and Medicaid. It was a party-line vote of 53-45.

    A stunning number of electric vehicle, battery factories are being canceled

    “Billions of dollars in clean energy projects have been canceled since Donald Trump took office again.”
