Okay, I read the article. Some joke of a Marxist Law professor quoted in WAPO doesn't believe in the Constitution. What else is new?
Here is another recent sampling of "Professor" Dorf:

What's Wrong with Prof Segall's "Win by Losing" Approach to Abortion?
by Michael C. Dorf
At the outset, I should say that I very much share Prof Segall's goal of replacing Donald Trump with a president who has even a modicum of decency, compassion, knowledge, intelligence, and judgment. Trump is an existential threat to the survival of the American republic and thousands of its citizens. Indeed, he is more than a threat. His arrogant stupid narcissism has been a major (albeit not the only) contributor to the incompetent federal response to COVID-19 that has already resulted in numerous avoidable deaths. Hence, if I thought trading a later for an earlier overruling of the Court's abortion jurisprudence would dramatically increase the likelihood of relegating Trump to the ashbin of history, I would seriously consider climbing aboard the Segall train.
It is clear from this that Dorf couldn't care less about what the Constitution says. He only cares about his political agenda.
I get tears every time I watch that video.
If he runs as VP, he’s not getting elected to be the president, so no 22nd Amendment violation. If he later goes on to become president through succession rather than being directly elected to the office, no violation of the 22nd Amendment because, again, he was not elected to that office. He just assumed it after the president stepped down, was removed, or died.
I’m just the messenger folks. It seems clear that the 22nd Amendment was intended to prevent someone who already served two terms from serving again. But this may be a loophole. That’s what loopholes are. They exploit poorly written law in order to go against the law’s original intent.
I cant find that retweet. Is it real? Do you have a link?
You don’t have to agree with Professor Dorf, but who cares? The Dem’s are going to try to use his argument to get Hussien to run as VP, whether you like it or not. That’s why Q posted the article.
The whole structure of heaven and earth is based on authority. Humans were designed not to be autonomous living apart from Gods authority. When Adam obeyed Satan his God given authority was surrendered and Adam became a slave to sin. We may think were mini gods but as Dylan sang we Gotta Serve Somebody. The crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord Himself restored the structure of authority in the universe. Adams relationship with God is restored, he is given a renewed spirit, responsive to God. I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Luke 10:19
AMEN! Agreed. Thanks.

8. TPTB has convinced him, at this time, to go for the limited disclosure.

11 All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
13 For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
The solids are blocking the stripes.
I don’t think so. Guess we’ll see who’s right.
The 12th amendment states: “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
Independent of the what it says regarding VP, the 22nd makes Obama inelegible to be President and the 12th then makes him ineligible to be Vice President.
The 22nd Amendment does not make him ineligible to be President, hence he can be elected to be Vice President. The 22nd Amendment prevents him from being ELECTED president again, not from becoming president again.
No, that isn’t it. Obama cannot be VP.
Right.
One would think the 12th A would Trump the 22nd? (see post 1516)
