The Constitution also says he requires the "advise & consent" of the Senate to approve his nominations.

President-elect Trump has mused more than once that he might like to extend his next stay at the White House. But can he run for re-election again in 2028 and seek a third term? The simple answer: No, the Constitution does not allow it.
Here’s what the law says.

The Senate GOP are climbing over one another like rabid pick-me raccoons, so I think we all understand there will be no lines drawn.
They punted both times
Having caught the car they're not going to start checking executive power now.
Need something more substantial, maybe a "wall on the border" ?
I have no answers, sorry.
It's not like they are still holding themselves to any conventions. So people who want a just world will probably have to get asymmetrical about it. That's just me losing patience.
I'm not sure what "order" looks like from here, but he's not following any rules and he's just in it for himself, so he doesn't really belong there.
I'm reminded of anacyclosis. https://youtu.be/uqsBx58GxYY
What can the senate do, when the president has the executive power to execute them all?
I think the sole check on Trump will be how useful he can remain for Putin. What does Putin need Trump for now? Vlad can work through others.
I expect Trump to be pushed off to the side rather quickly now.
The nominees are getting through.
None of this is gonna be easy, but again President Trump had a huge mandate from the American people. Not only the popular vote, the electoral vote. They were historic. The people in this country want change,” he said. “I always believe that you defer to a president
Now what? WE HAD 90 MILLION people that did not vote. They are just as guilty for putting Trump in office as those that DID vote for him.
The game has changed already, it's time to get real.
The guy is already thinking about 2028 elections
I hate what MoJo did. Please tell them Joyce. I feel betrayed.
And, here we are with an insurrectionist as president-elect.
Does he sit it out? Does he tolerate someone else getting all the attention?
No, he'll run. And he'll look for some crazy justification for suspending the constitution...
Once Trump is sworn in, the knowledge that he won't be in power in four years will gnaw at him - make no mistake.
And he'll publicly muse about how he is entitled to a further term... and some Rs will support this view.

My mantra is: "Just because he says it, doesn't make it true."
A dictator doesn't follow any law, except his own...
the fucking corrupt SCOTUS?
the Senate?? the House??
I only hope that enough sitting Congress critters still care enough about it to prevent the final catastrophe.
If he takes the oath in bad faith, knowing that he is in violation of the Emoluments Clause, is he even a legitimate president?
Do you think he allows your voice to be heard or does the algorithm suppress any dissenting voices?
Yet everyone was screaming for him to endorse Harris.
and he gets away with everything now !
The GOP and MAGA control the WH, Congress, and the Supreme Court. If they were going to leap at an autocracy, the situation will never be better for those traitors.
I’m baffled how little he knows about the system. Of course he doesn’t care though.
oh nevermind
He can't run
Yes, #Trump is not allowed to…
… and the constitution of german republic of #Weimar did not allow for a #dictatorship
But then: Enter #Hitler
And they voted for him - democratically.
Lessons NOT learned.
Only this time the whole West pays the price (if not worse).
We have had no laws enforced since this fvk came on the scene so what does this even mean?
He's not going to leave or the Nazis that he brought with him?
💲💲💲💲💲💲
We cannot lose steam.
Yes, Ours. Our Constitution, Our Country, Our Fight. Get mad people! They're selling off our nation like it's a fire sale 😡
He’s been granted immunity & knows that impeachments are empty threats… he has no need to obey the Constitution.
Come back to reality folks. Donnie is America’s fascist king. Who is gonna stop him ? Magats already own the supreemies.
It’s time to bring it back to life.
And gets away with it.
We need a good housecleaning.
Just don’t mention that 2nd amendment.
