But they also know that (1) congressional republicans are a rubber stamp and (2) Putin need only intimidate a vanishingly small number of people to fill whatever gap is needed. He *will* run for a third term!

You’re suggesting they’ll amend the Constitution? 2/3 vote in both chambers plus ratification by 38 states? No way.

I agree this will not be the path taken. But, after all the election denying, fake elector plotting and outright mob inciting - do you think Trump, Musk, Putin and their enablers aren’t gaming out alternative paths and how to exert maximum force on the smallest necessary group of individuals? Nope.

You’re totally correct. But ultimately I think this is an exercise at tilting at windmills on their behalf.

Or at least I fervently hope it is.

Apparently he could run as a VP and if elected become POTUS should the elected one resigns (or dies or is impeached, etc).

Could you spell "Medvedev" for me please ?

kristin-wilson.bsky.social•4 days ago

Twelfth Amendment precludes that.

Thanks for clearing that!
