SCOTUS would see this a blatant attempt to circumvent the Constitution.

Not a single named source in the article.

And the 8th Amendment clearly bans cruel and unusual punishments (plural).

I suppose next he'll have us tortured since the torture will be cruel, yes, but a commonly (not unusual) imposed punishment(singular).

[Peter ODonnell]

And then it’s basically “president for life” territory next, so nobody should be fooled as to where this idea originates.

Doesn’t congress have to approve a nomination to vp?

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Uh, oh. We already knew it. Obama is running the show from behind the scenes. That man is the very essence of evil.

[aquila48]

No, the nominee gets to pick his running mate,

Larry Tribe is an idiot. What part of the 12th amendment is unclear on this point (”... no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States”)???

I was under the impression that this wasn't allowed because if the president resigned it would, by default, become a third term for obama which is not allowed.

. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.[3]

So, in light of this, why was my chat posting this early morning deleted? It touched on this very subject. Hello admin?

Is it just me, or is the quality of no name "news" sites posted to the forum keeps getting lower?

This is another news aggregator site, taking stories from other mainstream news sources. Those "evil" MSM sites. Except for the politically loaded stories published from the site itself. That's a big spotlights-at-night clue this site puts out fake stories that some audience wants to hear.

This one doesn't even try to look good either. Confirmation bias is really addictive.

Wont happen.
Obama would take a pay cut.

[Drew68]

This is silly. Neither Barack nor Big Mike want to return to the White House.

They're perfectly content with their current lives pulling strings from behind the curtain while hosting and attending A-List parties and vacationing abroad.

As president, Barack aged 25 years in eight. Do you think he wants this headache? He's rich and doesn't have to do jack squat.

It's not just you. Seems there's an abundance of right-leaning AI garbage sites out there publishing AI-generated ragebait.

Of course, there's also the New York Times.

Barf!

[midwest_hiker]

Yup, dems say “can’t be Elected “
Say nothing about being “Appointed” or “Crowned”.

[frank ballenger]

Wow. Obama “ascending from Vice President to President” is not “elected no more than two times.”

Hope someone can spare us this nightmare.
