JdeBP<p>There's an argument that the 22nd Amendment to the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitution</span></a> would allow <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DonaldJTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DonaldJTrump</span></a> a 3rd term if <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/PresidentVance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PresidentVance</span></a> were elected with Trump as Vice-President and then <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/JDVance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JDVance</span></a> resigned or mysteriously fell out of a first-floor window, or something.</p><p>There's a counterargument that the 12th Amendment handles this. Its proponents are not thinking like <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a> judges. The 12th regulates elections. The 25th Amendment succession process is not an election.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ConstutitionalLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConstutitionalLaw</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a></p>
