So if President Trump was elected from the Speaker position, how long would his term be and would it count as his second term?

I'm not sure, and don't think the Con Amendment addresses this. I would think a "term" would me a FULL term, from Jan 20 to Jan 20 four years later. At least I think a competent attorney could make a strong case for this.

Wouldn't it be awesome if this slim chance were to materialize, and the Democrats most wicked corruption were to be turned into poetic justice? Trump getting the Speaker's position and then President again for a little more than a year. Then winning re-election in 2024? I know the left would be rioting in every leftist enclave, but we'd have a better position to squash it.

Depending on how long the impeachment took, it would be less than 2 years, and not count as a term.

But 100% not going to happen. It is not possible to get 67 Senators to convict.
