Yes, we are all well aware the Constitution limits the Presidency to two consecutive four-year terms of office

No, it doesn't.

First of all, terms do not need to be consecutive. That appears nowhere in the Constitution, and Amendment XXII doesn't change that.

Second of all, READ Amendment XXII and tell me what it prohibits, then tell me on whom it acts.

It says no person MAY BE ELECTED to the office more than twice, and then goes on to fit the particular circumstances of Harry S Truman while exempting him specifically, so that a VP (or other successor) who has served more than two years and one day of someone else's elected term MAY BE ELECTED only once.

Now, this does not affect "running for President", "being nominated", "being on the ballot", and it CERTAINLY does not make a twice-elected President "ineligible to the office".

How simple would it have been to amend Article II to read, "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States, and no person twice elected to the office shall be eligible thereafter".

But that's not what the drafters of XXII did. They presumed the existence of Presidential elections, which do not appear in the Constitution (except with regard to the Electoral College and the House of Representatives), and they ignored the other ways a person can become President, especially by ascending from the Vice Presidency, Speakership of the House, or otherwise.

My only concern is that Donald Trump starts citing this article as credible. What a load of tripe!

If Obama created a false flag event to justify a declaration of martial law and cancel the election who would stop him or roll it back?

Congress?

Laughable - they couldn’t even stop him from opening the borders or giving $400 million dollars to one of our major enemies.

Patriotic militias?

It would be a long, hard, thankless slog fighting MRAPS and Apache helicopters with semi-auto AR15’s and lever action 30-30’s.

No he doesn’t and no he can’t. This every 8 year paranoia coming from whoever doesn’t own the White House is pathetic. Really people, when you see these stories ignore them or mock them, don’t perpetuate them. There’s simply no excuse for anyone without brain damage to give them any credence.

My wife tells me she fears this scenario.

I tell her Obama and his family will not live to make it a reality.
