To be fair, able to and actually do are different. It's an EASILY verifiable bit of information. The language of the 22nd Amendment is pretty straight forward if you BOTHER to read it. But, blindly repeating something you happened to hear or read is even easier.
You're giving them credit for being so much smarter than they are. Granted, they are completely baffled by simple English grammar and math, and clearly not knowing the meaning of "two" or "consecutive. The worst is a moron commandeering Cleavon Little's image. "Bart" would be rolling in his grave.
An interesting thought. Violates the spirit but not the text of the amendment. My thought is that anyone with ambition, charisma and support to get elected not likely to be willing to give up the office even if they said they would.
Their sleeping through the Civics course is why these drooling idiots could be convinced that everything the 🍊💩 does and says is legal. Their lack of logic, reason, and critical thinking is why he has convinced them he is honest, smart, wealthy, and a good businessman.
The 22nd amendment is so plainly written that even this court would have trouble doing backflips to reinterpret it. To discard it would be akin to dissolving the constitution...
Relax, everybody. The Constitution as currently amended prohibits a third Trump term, does not limit the two term limit to consecutive terms but to all terms lifelong. Indeed, if a VP ascends early enough in a dead/disabled Prez's term that VP gets only one possible re-election. Everybody breathe.
You want to really blow their tiny minds. Remind them it was the GOP that added this amendment to the Constitution. They just look at you with a blank stare.
We learn a lot now that half of Americans become dumb and dumber now. Especially when people there at Elon campaign in Wisconsin to bribe people to vote for Republicans supreme court. So people there still think he doing good job for screwing over their fellow Americans.
I have a dream. The crowd on April 5 is so large, they overrun the White House and hang Trump and his minions from the balconies like Christmas ornaments.
I get your anger, but his supporters are starting to wake up to the fact that they're being screwed over. Now is the time for Dems to say, yes you've been lied to and betrayed. We are fighting to stop this.
Tbh. Theyre only "waking up" because they never thought this would impact them-just the groups of people they hate. They were ok with his very public disdain towards immigrants and lgbtqia and stood by those beliefs....yes we can flight together..but we will never be the same.
They don’t care what he does . Or how smart he is. They like that he panders to their narcissistic narrow tolerance and white misogynistic superiority . They think less for others means more for me.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.
I do so love when these morons say things like they are fact and even mention that the Constitution allows it when the Constitution CLEARLY states that it is consecutive terms on 1 term plus at least two years of a second one. It's funny how they are trying to word this so Obama can't also run.
Yeah, somehow I never saw that "consecutive terms" phrase in the Constitution or the 22 Amendment, and I still don't see it. Must be the special Fox News version of the Amendment.
Lmaoooo wow just wow. I shouldn’t be shocked, but here we are. Can one serve up to ten years, yes. Serve more than two full terms, no. Like it’s pretty clear. But yall know MAGA - the laws don’t apply to them, they do what they want. 🤷🏻♀️💃🏻
The same reason my cat would race to the top of the cat tree and keep the smarter cat on the lower tier.... because he got there first and had claws. Then one day the smarter cat just jumped on the first cat and sat on his face until he moved.
Proven foreign influence in our elections, bad actors flooding social media with disinformation and their base lacks the intellect to distinguish fact from fiction.
OMG, really MAGAts?! You seem to thrive on ADDING words to any statement or amendment or law to suit your wants/needs. The word "consecutive" is not mentioned once in Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment so you're thinking #FatAssFrumpBoy can serve a 3rd term is FULL OF SH*T!!! #Idiots
That being said, there is an insane way for #FatAssFrumpBoy to get a 3rd term. He can run as Vice President in 2028 w/ someone else from the GOP running as President then he can usurp the role of President and get a 3rd term. It's insane, but @gtconway.bsky.social shared this on MSNBC just now.
No wonder #Felon47 loves the uneducated.
Dear #Maga-Fuckwits - if you had remained in school long enough you may have gotten to the 22nd Amendment - No Person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.
So count along with Count Von Count 1 hahaha 2 hahaha No more hahaha.
Do you need s hug Karen?
At least we dont get violent to have the ability to murder unborn babies. Maybe planned parenthood should start a gas chamber to murder living children and toss babies that are already born alive into it?
Lot of money to be made selling body parts.
Did your mom abort you?
"No person shall be elected ... more than twice". Nothing about consecutive. Maybe instead of dressing up in the Constitution, you should actually read it.
or Bill Clinton, who was actually more conservative in a real sense than trump ever was. I mean the dude not only balanced the budget, he had a surplus, plus the bj scandal... how conservative can you get?
Kidding on the BJ part. I actually think he should have been impeached, for lying under oath about it. He should have just said "Yeah, I did it". It probably would have bumped his stock up with the conservatives.
Is anyone else as astonished as I am that NONE of these fucks googles ANYTHING ??? Like absolutely NOTHING?? All the stuff that is so easily proven incorrect & they simply don’t bother. I google EVERYTHING. I don’t trust what any ONE person says. Ever.
What's bizarre is how many liberals/leftists are totally panicked and upset at this, taking it at face value. You think we'd know better, but we have people up in here saying "if we even HAVE elections again" and other doomer crap. No wonder trump keeps releasing this type of BS. We fall for it.
While I don’t get accept this particular excuse for why he can run again, I don’t discount that he is diabolical enough & has enough influential kids asses supporting him that if there is a WAY for him to run they will find it or make it. I’m done saying, “he would never do that”. Because he has.
They've been misled to believe that anything one might find in a Google search is untrustworthy, biased, MSM "fake news," and that the only real "truth" comes from MAGA and YouTube
True. But I always tell them that is you can cite your source on a college research paper, it’s probably a decent source. DailyMail is not one of them, for example. Part of critical thinking is knowing how to suss out reliable sources. Not just ones that support your own ideas.
You've made two huge assumptions: 1) that these people went to college (and wrote research papers), and 2) that they are capable of critical thinking. Remember that he loves the poorly educated. It's not a coincidence that the majority of college grads aren't MAGA.
But some people just NATURALLY have a curiosity to learn? It’s so ingrained in me, I can’t imagine going through life just accepting what someone else tells me.
Republicans have long mastered the art of messaging. Turns of phrases that are a sort of Rorschach test. Make America great again. America first. Fake news. Deep state. Woke ideology. All things that people can assign any value they want to. It's genius, But also nefarious.
They had to be dumb enough to believe it, so misled is appropriate. Brainwashing involves more active psychological manipulation. Not saying there hasn't been some of that, too, but first they needed to convince these people to listen. That was the "misleading" part.
Just like J6, he's rallying up his base, planting the seed that "there are ways" If he says there are several ways to remain in power, how are we to think these will be by legal means?! He will breach a constitutional barrier. In 2024: "He won't do that!" And then he did! Who will stop him, SCOTUS??
I'm a Scot and sincerely hope he can't stay on for another term, however, having read the amendment can you explain something? It states "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice," etc. It doesn't appear to mention anything about someone SERVING. Is this their plan?
So JD Vance runs, gets elected and then hands it over to the First Felon? They know they can't get him elected again or get the Constitution changed, but they seem confident. Any Constitutional scholars out there?
Everyone knows that except MAGAS: the bastions of intellectual prowess, the shining beacons of informed discourse. They, who have mastered the art of regurgitating Fox News soundbites. They, who need a roadmap to find their own dick. 😁
i don't understand the appeal of that fat slob. he has done NOTHING! In 2016, he inherited a decent economy which he just rode...while giving away tax cuts. He failed at the 1 crisis he had and then had is supporters smear shit on the desks of lawmakers. What is the appeal?
Say JD is President w/dRump as his VP. Then JD falls out a 20 story window & thus dRump becomes President without having to be “elected” for a 3rd term.
😳🤯🤪😵💫🤔🥸 I’m sure it’s on their scenario list. 🤡
Then we argue that he was indeed elected. The vice president is elected, in part, to finish out a president's term should he or she become disabled or dies.
I can just imagine a couple of magat incels hanging in their parents' basement giggling and jumping up and down when they figure if they just say it hinges on "consecutive terms"...which appears NO WHERE in the 22nd. Giggling will not make it so.
Read it. 'Can't get Elected more than 2x And if you serve more than 2 years of a presidency when someone else was Elected, you can't get Elected to the presidency more than 1x after that, so Assume role over 2yrs, then can get "Elected" again. Says nothing about assuming role after elected. Scary.
I did read it and I'm not trying to fight. But he would have already violated the second condition, of a stepping down Pres. as they can't get elected more than once. As he's already been elected twice.
No person shall be Elected to the office of the President more than twice, And no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be Elected To the Office of The President More than once.
It doesn't say anything about assuming the role 10 times. It says you can't be Elected if you have served 2 years after being elected 2x. If you assume role, serve more than 2 years, you can't get "elected." Bad thing.. GOP has figured out how to cheat.
Trump found a way to get back to 1950. The year before the Amendment was made into law. Because that is literally the only way he can be POTUS again. His problem is he surrounds himself with people who insist that he's really not naked.
Thats why the GA Militia is already armed and ready to go per sources who didn't want to go on record and I quote, "it's pretty dumb to announce you're coming"!!
Like some members of SCOTUS, when it comes to law, MAGA minds are like 8th grd boys who get on Student Council and argue Robert’s Rules of Order without understanding (or caring) what it really means. Their only goal is disruption and chaos.
As for another term, we’re assuming we’ll have elections.
I know that the Constitution is written in rather . . . difficult language, but I'd think that they'd be able to figure out that since TWO is the limit, and ONE + ONE = TWO, that he's on his LAST TERM.
Remember that half the people who are talking like this on Elmos app are bots he uses to create the illusion of consensus. Same that are under every one of his posts slobbering over him. It's not real, and we can't get gaslit into thinking there's actual consensus for any of this. There isn't.
To your point, I believe those words are repeating what is in Andy Ogles bill to change the Constitution. They were added after many Obama/Trumps rematch was posted. He added wording to EXCLUDE Obama from running.
The only people who have historically served more than their terms have allowed in terms of presidency were and are DICTATORS! FFS these ppl will excuse anything for this bullshit!! 😒
No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.
Maybe that's too math-y for some folks. It means one elected term plus one elected term equals two elected terms which falls under the category of twice, defined as two times.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.
It's not dumb if every single last one of those shit-licking Trumper-Humpers fights tooth and nail to make it happen, and we don't do a goddamn fucking thing to stop them.
It doesn't matter if it's unconstitutional anymore, because they're ignoring the constitution anyway.
Free speech is a wonderful thing! Allows an ignorant, addled POS president say the dumbest most offensive things… and not get arrested nor put on psychiatric hold.
Yes JoJo, you have. Actually, Maga voters are that the people they support are an organized criminal organization deliberately destroying everything to commit the ultimate smash and grab.
This is the exact argument James Rhodes used to run and win his 3rd and 4th term as Ohio's Governor
He served 2 terms left office for 4 years than served 2 more terms

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, ..."
Doesn't say a damn thing about consecutive terms or non-consecutive.
it is a funny coment though.
sorry 'bout that
"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.."
Boom third term without having to be elected.
I promise this is what they are thinking.
Not even this Supreme Court can reinterpret that.
I'm just thankful that Republicans hated FDR so much that they gave us the 22nd Amendment.
I have not seen alot of independent thought coming out of that camp
Just keep in mind that SCOTUS is majority lunatic now.

There’s more, but this covers the claim.
Easy cheesy.

However, again, Maga if you somehow win the argument & Trump runs for a third term???
That means we can run Barack.
That would not end well for you. 💯
Remember Maga, if you somehow get to run Trump for a third term???

Sorry. "mentioned."

No more times. Zero more times.
There's no hope for them.
