The amendment prohibits anyone who has been elected president twice from being elected again. Under the amendment, someone who fills an unexpired presidential term lasting more than two years is also prohibited from being elected president more than once. Scholars debate whether the amendment prohibits affected individuals from succeeding to the presidency under any circumstances or whether it applies only to presidential elections. Until the amendment's ratification, the president had not been subject to term limits, but both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson (the first and third presidents) decided not to serve a third term, establishing the two-term tradition. In the 1940 and 1944 presidential elections, Franklin D. Roosevelt became the only president to win third and fourth terms, giving rise to concerns about a president serving unlimited terms. So Trump is eligible to run again. sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580867647162091670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-56902188493450344442022-11-17T17:40:11.280-06:002022-11-17T17:40:11.280-06:00I think some of their sports columnists are good. ...I think some of their sports columnists are good. sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580867647162091670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-27820244074498201892022-11-17T15:55:11.091-06:002022-11-17T15:55:11.091-06:00I don't expect the New York Post to become any...I don't expect the New York Post to become any more liberal, in general, but can still very much appreciate this treatment of the Biggest Loser's announcement. Well played, indeed. <br /><br />So many things he's done that would have been deal-breakers for any other politician in the past have just not affected his support. But, I'm actually a bit hopeful that this time will be different, as is perhaps indicated by the Post's reverse ferret. Maybe the only thing certain Republicans won't put up with is losing. And between losing, himself, and backing a bunch of "Big Lie"-supporting losers a week ago, here's hoping they've seen enough. <br /><br />Even though in a just society he would be in prison -- for multiple reasons -- I don't know if that will actually ever come to pass. For now, I'll settle for knowing that being ignored and/or mocked by former toadies in the press and elsewhere has got to really piss him off. <br /><br />BTW, as others have pointed out, the Constitution does not allow a person to run for a third term as president. So, by announcing his candidacy, he's tacitly admitted that he did not win that second term, after all. He's conceded the 2020 election, at last!
