There's an argument that the 22nd Amendment to the #USConstitution would allow #DonaldJTrump a 3rd term if #PresidentVance were elected with Trump as Vice-President and then #JDVance resigned or mysteriously fell out of a first-floor window, or something.
There's a counterargument that the 12th Amendment handles this. Its proponents are not thinking like #SCOTUS judges. The 12th regulates elections. The 25th Amendment succession process is not an election.

"The constitution gives the president zero power to write law.
And zero power to ignore the law.
And zero power to break the law."

The Articles of Confederation were version 0.1 and some junior developers sat down and said "This is unmaintainable. We're just going to have to rewrite the codebase from scratch.".
And they started work on that rewrite on a Friday afternoon.

There is a small crumb of comfort from the #ConstitutionalLaw perspective.
The U.S.A. constitution is currently on version 1.26.
The constitution of Eire is currently on version 2.38.
The French constitution is currently on version 5.25.
There's a piece of humourous computing folklore from the 1990s about not buying version 1 of anything. (-:
"So far, America’s leading universities have remained virtually silent in the face of this authoritarian assault on institutions of higher education. That must change. Harvard must stand up, speak out, and lead a public defense of our freedom to speak and study freely."

Interview: More than 250,000 have signed a petition to "Impeach Trump Again".
"This president has already committed multiple abuses of power since assuming the presidency, & the framers designed the Constitution to ensure that we would not have a monarch or a tyrant govern this nation.
“When we see these abuses of power, we have to invoke this impeachment clause.”
