We have term limits.
They’re called elections.
What we need is to secure our elections and then vote accordingly.
Humor is the best attack. It is irrational and cannot be argued against. LOL
Didn’t they try to manipulate a “third term” for Obama? Clinton?
Isn’t the intention of amendments a major issue?
The intent of the 22nd amendment is to limit a president to two terms in office.
Searching for loopholes tries to disregard the intent.
Consider debates about the 14th amendment and birthright citizenship. The intent of the amendment was to give citizenship to former slaves. It was not the intent to give citizenship to children of illegal aliens. We argue all the time on Free Republic, that giving citizenship to aliens children violates the intent of the amendment.
So then, if the intent of an amendment is supposed to be the key criterion to judge what the legalities are, clearly the 22nd amendment would bar someone from serving a 3rd term.
It depends on people’s criteria for judging what our laws and amendments mean, what the intent was, etc.

If that's more important to you than turning off swing voters, go for it.
I don't remember that. Can you be more specific?
The problem isn't Democrats -- the problem are swing voters who may swing back the other way at the midterms. And I've yet to meet anyone other than a hardcore Trump supporter who thinks this is actually funny.
If you don't care who you alienate for the midterms, it's fine. I just think a chuckle isn't worth the risk of losing voters. Especially with Congress as closely divided as it is.
I think it is a lame duck Presidency diversion.

About $25 on amazon.
Just change the Term to be 10 years.
I’m still waiting for the Demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminaziguanopathicpedophilegoatrapers to claim that President Donald J. Trump is not the current President because He won 2020. But if they do that then they will be admitting that they stole it !!!
Obama already served two consecutive terms.
If the Democrats can take a joke, then Trump will stop trolling. But we know that you can't joke around with the Bolsheviks.
Melania ???
Then My stepdaughter could vote for her based on “She’s a Woman and I will vote for her just because of that.” Like I heard from her this last Election.
And if You have a Dog get a Trump Dog Sweater to go with Your hat on the walk.
Trumps are a BIG family.
I’m good with Any of the Trumps.
Only way Trump could run in 28 is for him to resign a bit short of two years and serve as VP for Vance or just hold rallies on the sidelines.
You can run and win the presidency more than 2 times but you cannot serve more than 10 years in any case.
Similar to a VP who has to assume the office and serve out a term of less than 2 years, he can run again, twice... but only once if his short term was over 2 years.
The issue is that hardcore Democrats are not the only people you are trolling. I personally know swing voters who voted for Trump over Harris who are really upset about this. Now maybe the argument is they shouldn't be upset, or screw them if they can't take a joke, etc.
But the reality is they vote, and whether they're voting for a reason we believe is good or not, their votes count. And in fact, their votes are the ones that swing elections.
That's why I don't understand why anyone who really cares what happens to this country would risk alienating critical voters just because antagonizing those voters makes you laugh.
“Shall not be infringed” is ignored in the constitution, why can’t we ignore “two terms”?
Who are we to say what “two” is anyway?
Trump need only identify as a new candidate.
“Plain text of the law” never stopped leftists.
Trump should run and let things play out in the courts, and then ignore the court in the end, just like Biden did.
