Trump isn’t supposed to be able to assume office according to the constitution being an insurrectionist and all. The document doesn’t say a damn thing about total presidential immunity.
Sometimes. It depends on the judge, which is a problem in itself, being that the law is not partisan. Boasberg has been working insanely hard to uphold the Constitution in his court. We should recognize the ones that put their duty above money or loyalty, and replace the rest.
I said the same thing, but it turns out there is a weasely way around it. The 22nd amendment doesn’t actually say you can only be president for two terms. The text actually says:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,
Some guy pitched it as “Vance runs with Asshole as VP, wins then resigns. Asshole is prez again.” Of course this requires Vance not having ambitions of his own.
That would take an amendment to the Constitution, which requires 2/3 of states to ratify. He has a better chance of taking it by force than by law.

The constitution is meaningless.
That would only apply had our court system not failed us in convicting him before the election.
It’s not even a court anymore, it’s a bootlicker parade in wacky dresses.

There is an exception for wartime… FuckNevermind. I checked and that was false.I’ve seen that sentiment floating around, so you’re not alone there. Good on you for verifying!

Except he’d have to be Speaker of the House not VP. He can’t be VP after this term according to the Constitution.
“Some guy” in this case is Trump during the interview with NBC btw - that’s exactly his (first) plan
Ah, thanks. I only saw it in passing on socials.
