Trump claims he is ‘entitled’ to third term during Texas rally

Trump claims he is ‘entitled’ to third term during Texas rally

Donald Trump suggested he should be permitted to serve a third term as president, reiterating his unsubstantiated claim that the 2020 election was "stolen" from him.

Speaking at a rally in Corpus Christi, Texas, Trump asserted he was "entitled" to an unconstitutional third term, alleging that Democrats "cheated like hell."

The U.S. Constitution's 22nd Amendment explicitly prohibits any person from serving more than two terms as president, a fact Trump has previously acknowledged.

During the same event, Trump criticized Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar, describing her as "crazy" for heckling him at his recent State of the Union address.

Omar had reportedly shouted "You have killed Americans!" during Trump's speech in response to his comments on immigration enforcement.

Republicans: we can just have Elon Musk go to Wisconsin and give everyone money. He'll give them a million dollars. It's all legal as long as we hold power forever and can stop anyone from doing anything to stop us. All of Wisconsin is bribed, nothing can go wrong now.

Trump is toying with a third term. Don’t expect the constitution to stop him | Moira Donegan

What is and is not constitutional is determined, in effect, by loyalists on the supreme court and their bad-faith enablers

This sums it up quite well. I’m sure the supreme whores will work it all out.

Talk of a Trump third term isn’t just noise, it’s a test.

Every empire begins with someone deciding the rules don’t apply to them.

Trump Seems to Realize He Cannot Have a Third Term

The essay outlines an even more devious way Trump might try to get a third term:

If the veep route is out, there is another, more-convoluted, route, that is likely legal. On Jan. 3, 2029, Trump could be elected speaker of the House. There are no constitutional barriers to that, not age, not even nationality. If the House elects Prince Louis (7) as speaker and mom and pop agree, then it is Speaker Louis. Then, on Jan. 20, 2029, both the newly elected president and vice president resign, making the speaker president. Again, no amendment bans anyone from serving a third term, just getting elected. Of course, this scenario requires Republican control of the House and a president and vice president who are willing to play ball. A ticket of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner (two for the price of one!) or Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. would probably play ball, but could they get elected if the Democrats field a serious candidate? It's unlikely, but is a theoretical possibility.
