Are you forgetting about the Republicans being involved in the same criminality and they want Trump out as well?

If anything, I think change presidential term to one term @ 6 years.

The prospect of 12 years of President Trump makes me smile, but can you imagine Harris being in charge for 12 years?

Actually, it's 10 years. That is how LBJ could have run for a second elected term but chose not to (or was told not to).

No they couldn’t. You have no idea how that process works. Congress can not just add a 3rd term

Yes, that’s true because the VP can run for 2 terms if he fills out 2 years or less. Since Johnson filled out less than 2 years he could run for 2 terms. Had JFK died prior to 1962 there would be a different calculation. I should have clarified that the 2 term limitation is about elections.

It would be awfully quiet here if that were the case.

We don’t want more the 8 for anyone....

If trump wins and regain house need to push for congressional term limits. 2 terms for house and 1 term for senate

what would stop the Republicans from doing the same thing and extending the presidency to three terms?
It would require a constitutional amendment not just a change in a law.

No they can not. Stop shite like this or it gets used to claim Republicans want racism.

No President gets more than two terms and it HAS to stay that way. That will be a massive destruction of our democracy if it happened.

We don't need a 3rd term, we just need the supreme court to not be full of liberal idiots who don' care about the Constitution.

No because he would be ineligible to be POTUS.

You're going about this all wrong, when we get ACB just challenge the law and amendment and get some mental gymnastic ruling. That's what dems would do.
