Republican President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was not joking about seeking a third presidential term, which is barred by the U.S. Constitution, but that it was too early to think about doing so.
Trump, who took office on January 20 for his second, non-consecutive White House term, has made vague allusions to seeking a third one but addressed it directly on Sunday in a telephone interview with NBC News.
“No, I’m not joking. I’m not joking,” Trump said, but “it is far too early to think about it.”
“There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know,” he said. He declined to elaborate on any specific methods.
Most states probably won’t even let him register for presidential election.
Hasn’t the Supreme Court already ruled on this when Colorado tried it? It was pretty clear then that he violated the 14th Amendment. So what’s the 22nd to them this time? The deed will be done.
I believe they commented it was fine for colorado to enforce the 35 yrs old requirement because its clear cut and there’s no process needed to make that determination. The 22nd amendment doesn’t require any determination process, so its unlikely they’ll be able to bar it without letting toddlers run for president
He’ll just threaten to stop all federal monetary transfers to those states and they’ll cave.
Sure but you only need them to bar him long enough to keep him off the ballot. Imo it takes time to cave to monetary pressure.
