Amendment 22:Sorry ... Donald J Trump is not eligible to be elected President again.Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2. This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.
Deal with it.
Read the amendment closely. He’s eligible because he hasn’t yet served two consecutive terms.
“ Deal with it.”
You’re a nice little psycho Trump hater.
We could amend the constitution so that Trump would be eligible.
Here’s the loophole, for those who are not aware of it. The 22nd Amendment precludes Trump from RUNNING for President a third time. It does not prevent him from serving a third term. It also doesn’t prevent him from running to be Vice President and his running mate resigning from office after being sworn in (which would cause Trump to replace him). Some may be uncomfortable with it, but there it is. A strict literal reading of the amendment does not preclude the above scenario.
IMO, for what it’s worth, whether or not Trump tries to exploit this loophole or not, he should at the very least use it as leverage to force Congress to approve a congressional term limits amendment. His decision to not try to exploit the loophole should be conditional on Congress approving an amendment that both, removes the loophole by making the language clearer, and also institutes congressional term limits.
If Trump gives up the opportunity to serve a third term then Congress and all the Democrat pearl clutchers in it should give up their ability to run for reelection an unlimited number of times.
;-)
And Barrack Obama was never eligible. So?
That’s just something written by dead white men.
Amendment 21:
Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
Section 2. The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.
Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.
So can the 22nd be removed.
