A simpler method would be for the House of Representatives to select Trump to be the Speaker, and then both the President and Vice President resign. This requires only one chamber of Congress to cooperate.

Then a President Trump 3 could appoint the former President to be the Vice President. This would require a majority vote from both chambers of Congress.

Clever thinking there! But there is one hitch. The Presidential Succession Acts of 1886 and 1947 both stipulate that anyone in the line of succession must be constitutionally eligible for the presidency.

If they aren’t, they’re skipped over.
