Since the Deep State is obviously about to kick Biden out, and since Harris is unfit to serve, it's time for discussion of one of my favorite parts of the Constitution - Amendment XXII.
This rushed Amendment, hastily drafted after the death of FDR, prevents a person who has served two terms as POTUS from BEING ELECTED again. Please read it for yourselves if you doubt this.
It does NOT amend or alter Article II and Amendment XII as regards eligibility to BE President - it just prevents a former President from getting back in office BY BEING ELECTED.
So- Biden resigns, Harris appoints Barack Obama VP and resigns, and he's back!
Please argue, from the text of XXII, why this is not possible.
Barky is running the place now.
If he’s ineligible to be potus. He’s ineligible for VP.
How about taking congress in the next election, installing Trump as speaker of the House, then using the 25th and/or impeachment to rid ourselves of the Commies and put Trump in for two years. He could then run for a four year term.
“In a world...”
The trailer writes itself
Good point.
I could not agree more. I have been saying since forever, that Obama, Harris, Cruz, Rubio, Gabbard, and even McCain were not eligible. Eric and Donald Trump Jr (whom I think might be great presidential material) are also not natural born citizens since their mother was not a US citizen when they were born.
But since no Article III court will hear the matter on the merits, here we are.
I can easily see Republicans, in the grand gesture of reconciliation after the Insurrection of 2021, would love Obama as Head of the Executive Branch once more.
There is a really simple way around the law as written, it says nothing about a permanent position of Vizier. He can be the public hand behind the throne, and not have to put up with silly things such as the Will of the People or elections. How hard really, would it be to invent a bureaucracy to run the duties of POTUS, headed.....temporarily of course, by that most reasonable man, Barak insane Abominator?
"The 12th Amendment is lengthy, and provides a lot of important information, regarding the election process of the president and vice president. The most important line, in regards to our viewer's question, is as follows:That sums it up nicely."No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States,” it reads."
Barky couldnt run a lemonade stand, he had handlers too.
Astounding. Two great breakthroughs in one thread.
A Vizier. What a concept. Clearly we have one now.
All that is required is for the elected official to accede to the authority of the state operatus.
We are there!
He must be approved by the senate. If you want to see open revolt, do it.
By that time, Republicans will control Congress and never confirm him.

That could actually happen at some point if the country continues its long downward slide. It won’t happen now or any time soon.
Who else could replace JB?
Pick up a phone book.
Maybe if Kamala becomes President she will appoint Valerie Jarrett as the new VP. Cut out the middleman.
She would never do that.
The Constitution proves it with the Twentieth Amendment, Section Three and the first two words of the eligibility requirements in Article II.
The Twentieth Amendment is an instruction to Congress to ensure that the President-Elect is eligible to serve, in fact he is burdened with providing proof to Congress, and if there is a failure to qualify, Congress is instructed to name a President. Congress, in this instance, as they are prone to do all of the time, simply ignored their Constitutional duty. That they ignored their duty does not mean we had a legal president because the first two words of the eligibility requirements plainly state “No person” who is a natural born citizen can serve as President. It doesn’t say “No Person except those not vetted by Congress”. It says “No person”. That Congress failed it’s Constitutional duty under the Twentieth Amendment, Section Three does not a legal President make. It makes a usurper. No matter what the media, democrats, and rinos call him, Obama was an eight year userpation of the office of President.
Leaving aside for the moment the question of whether or not Obama is a natural born citizen - there are only three eligibility criteria.
1) NBC
2) Lived in the US for the last 14 years
3) Be 35 years old, or older.
Almost every answer to my vanity begs the question by saying, if you can’t be ELECTED President after 6.1/8/10 years as POTUS, that makes you “ineligible to SERVE as President”, since there are several ways to become President besides being elected.
Donald Trump was born in 1946; making his mother a LEGAL, NATURALIZED CITIZEN for 4 years when he was born!
But I think that you may be correct about Don Jr., but no, I'm not certain about that, as I couldn't find out when Ivana became an American citizen.
He was never eligible for the presidency.
