Could former President Barack Obama eventually return to the White House for a third term?
Washington Post national political reporter and MSNBC analyst Robert Costa floated the unlikely idea late Wednesday night following the former president’s anti-Trump speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Following Obama’s speech, MSNBC host Brian Williams asked Costa if Republican lawmakers secretly agree with Obama’s claim that “democracy is being threatened” by President Trump.

Congress can do what it wants. States own it. Not happening.
Dude looks like he's lost a bunch of weight. His head has that pulled tight skin look about it.
I don't know chit, and I'm sure about that because I had a talk with the wife this morning, but 0 doesn't look too good to me.
That would be my pick. Two-and-out, five years lobbying moratorium. Since we’re at it, no lawyers need apply. They’re the ones who have bolluxed up the system to begin with.
DOA this is will Never Happen.
They can talk about it all they want. There aren’t enough votes in the Senate or House to get even a majority to vote for it much less two-thirds. And they’d never get 34 states to ratify it.
FU Brian Williams... Really!
Only at MSDNC, can a guy who repeatedly lied about being at different historical places, can still keep his job
It’s very telling that this idea was floated during the Democrat convention. Obama takes the spotlight on a day in which the focus should be on Joe Biden.
Obviously they’ve never heard, or chose to ignore, “Be careful what you wish for”...
Waiting for Ghislane’s shoe to drop can be stressful.
I think one of the funniest things that's been going on this year is the fact that no one on the left, not the Democrats or the media have said one thing about Joe's cognitive and physical ability to run the country, yet they were plotting to try to get rid of President Trump using the 25th Amendment.
Were any of Jug Ear’s EOs ever challenged in court or reviewed by SCOTUS?
Can you believe how stupid Williams is? And he’s held up by NBC as some kind of “newsman”. They’re so ridiculous.
Apparently these morons think we live in a democracy. We live in a Republic.

Some even get angry when told that.
I “floated” something more valuable this morning about a half hiir after my second cup of coffee.
Obama to Medvedev - "After my election, I have more flexibility" (11 seconds)
So if an amendment to repeal 22nd Amendment also includes provisions to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, let's not forget a provision to expressly prohibit political party support of popularly elected federal officials, then by all means let’s propose it to the states for ratification.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
"The “Holy Grail” of organized crime is for political party elites to party with Uncle Sam's "unlimited credit card."" —me
"The power to tax involves the power to destroy, [...]” —Chief Justice John Marshall, McCulloch v. Maryland, 1819.
"The 16th Amendment effectively repealed the involuntary servitude aspect of the 13th Amendment imo, evidenced by unconstitutional federal taxes." —me
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"13th Amendment, Section 1:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude [emphasis added], except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
"16th Amendment:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"It’s politically correct, under the Democratic Party and its tyrant judges, to use your voting power to make your fellow citizens involuntary servants." —me
"The Democratic elite define a "pro-choice" democracy as being able to vote for your preferred master." —me
"The ill-conceived 17th Amendment not only effectively politically repealed the 3/4 state supermajority requirement of the Constitution’s Article V for ratification of proposed amendments to the Constitution imo, politically correct interpretations of the Constitution now prevailing under Democratic judicial tyranny, but also consider this. That amendment also effectively nullified Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers along with the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congress’s limited power to appropriate taxes." —me
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically rival, corrupt voter unions, “union dues” paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes. Belonging to a political party means that you are a subject, not a member.” —me
"Patriots need to support PDJT in demanding that Congress moves "April 15" tax day to the day before election day." —me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
The 22nd Amendment specifically said, "But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress..." So they could incorporate identical language in the new amendment so anyone holding the office when it was proposed could not take advantage of it.
No way it would be repealed. It might, I suppose be Redacted by a Congressional Resolution, as the Natural Born clause was in order to regularize Obama and McCain.
