I also don’t think it would happen but IF this scenario actually happened - reinstatement - it would occur after the 2-year timeline from the fraudulent Biden 2020 Usurpation.

Why do I say so? Because a President can be elected twice, BUT! But, that pesky but......a President can serve TWO terms up to a maximum of 10 years. Meaning? IF all that happened, Trump reinstated.... he can RUN AGAIN in 2024.

The last time this possibly could have happened was with LBJ after assuming the Presidency after JFK was assassinated. JFK just over two years in office and LBJ assumes. He coul have run for a second term legally. But he didn’t. Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley, Dan Rather and all the leftists pretty much dissuaded him from that....

No he can't because, as you pointed out, the 22nd Amendment says that no person will be elected to the office of more than twice. The 2016 election would be one and the 2020 election would be two. The 10 year limit doesn't enter into it.

Under LBJ/JFK scenario LBJ served under 6 years and was elected once, so technically eligible. Under Trump succeeds via Speakerhood he served under 6 years and was elelected POTUS once, in ‘16, so is still eligible in ‘24. Under Bobb scenario he’s served less than 6 years but was actually elected twice since the that’s the reason for him replacing fake Joe. So probable not eligible in ‘24 (and if he were still eligible Nixon would have been eligible to run again.). So probably DeSantis in ‘24. Now if one is dreaming wildly enough to buy Bobb’s scenario its bonus is that it declares Biden never was a real POTUS, always was a fake. Some of what Joe had ‘done’ could probably be cancelled. There must be some law on what happens to what you did after being officially deemed such a fake, although it’s never been considered at this level. Might Rapinoe lose her medal? Might KJB lose her SCOTUS seat? It would be a big mess! But a bigger mess than leaving Joe there to ruin what more he could in spite of a GOP Congress could be argued. No way to get to 2/3 in Senate before ‘24 so veto overrides, much less impeachment convictions, are out. I’m not even sure they are enough red state rat Senators for a plane crash full of junketing such and term filling GOP replacements to get us there. And as that kind of disaster would swing a huge sympathy vote I don’t want it! I’m much happier with rational voting based on the current disaster.

He was going to be renominated on his birthday. When Gene McCarthy had such a strong showing in the NH primary he realized he couldn’t just waltz to the nomination, let alone win the general. That’s what convinced him to drop out.

He would have barely lived out his term. (died Jan 22, 1973).

He tried to, but he withdrew after the New Hampshire primary, which he actually won. But Gene McCarthy's showing was strong enough that LBJ was a yugely damaged candidate.

Afer that primary, he amde the famous announcement that "I have decided that I will not seek, nor will I a ccept, the nomination of my paarty for another term as your president."

Almost before he was finished making that speech, Vice President Humphrey hopped into the race. Nixon barely beat Humphrey in November. George Wallace scooped up some electoral votes too, carrying all but one of the Goldwater states.
