Grover Cleveland is the only president who left the White House and returned four years later for a second term (22nd and 24th POTUS).

Is there any way to construe the 22nd Amendment to allow Trump to run again in 2028 if elected?

The drafter’s intent was not to keep the electorate from letting a person return, but to keep a someone from remaining in consecutive terms to where it was essentially a monarch (like FDR).

I voted for the man twice and expect to do so again, but at some point y'all are going to recognize that there are other people capable of running the country (Joe Biden ain't one of them) and move along from Trump.

No, rules were changed after FDR. Four more years of wear and tare would be enough even for him. Not many on this board could handle the constant barrage. Back stabbing from the RINO plants would be the worst.

Have a downvote sir. No. No. No.

Two terms is plenty for a president. America is bigger than one person. Always has been. Always will be.

Of course. Everyone knows no amendment in the constitution is absolute. If "shall not be infringed" means tons of gun regulations, restrictions, and bans are okay, then the wording of the 22nd amendment allows for reasonable term limit extensions. I'd say 3 to 4 terms is reasonable, unless there is a pandemic or war, then you could go to 6 or 7

Indeed we can! The government ignores the constitution today anyway, so picking and choosing which piece to ignore is bullshite. Nothing wrong with having a king, so long as he’s good. I 2nd Damone!!

He would only be 85 at the end of his 2028 term! I wonder if they could possibly change the constitution to allow him a third consecutive term and fourth overall?

If he was vice president and the President died, he could serve 2 years of the deceased President's term.

The possibilities are infinite when you’re substituting imagination for real life. If you’re looking to stand out among the others that have to resort to same, you’ll have to come a little bigger though. While you’re in this mode you might as well stake your claim on a story that Trump’s going to change the Constitution to provide that he can be President as long as he’s technically alive, with the caveat that life support counts. So who is MAGA gonna support for President in 2052? Donald Trump.
