Heart of the matter - excerpt:
—
The loophole in the 22nd Amendment is set out in a 1999 Minnesota Law Review article co-authored by Professor Bruce Peabody and titled ‘The Twice and Future President’.
It outlines how the Amendment has been subject to ‘widespread misunderstanding,’ and concludes that the idea any twice-elected president is ‘constitutionally prohibited’ from serving again is ‘decidedly incorrect.’
According to the paper: ‘We contend that the Twenty-Second Amendment proscribes only the reelection of an already twice-elected President.’
The key phrase in the Amendment is - ‘No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice...’
It is argued that means a twice-elected president would not be barred from later reassuming the office due to the resignation, or death, of another president.
Trump could therefore run for Vice President, with Vance as an openly recognized nominal figure at the top of the ticket.
Once he is sworn in Vance could then resign, allowing his Vice President - Trump - to step into the office.
The same procedure could be used in multiple elections.
To win a fourth term Trump would simply have to resign the presidency before the 2032 election and become the running mate of a nominal presidential candidate, be that Vance or someone else.
BS!
