Do you think Donald Trump would abide by the 22nd amendment?

Given the events of January 6, 2021, do you think Donald Trump will voluntarily relinquish the presidency in January of 2029—as required by the constitution—if he wins the 2024 election?


Yes. We’re too strong of a Republic to allow that to happen. Believing otherwise is just paranoia.


Well he already tried once and nearly got away with it. Why wouldn't he try again, particularly now that he has picked a VP that says he would have allowed it?

Anyway, why even risk it? The possibility that he might try is enough for me to vote against him.

Trump says a lot of things off the cuff but without any way to make it happen. Remember his health care plan?


I have to say I am continually amazed at how Trump is never held to account for any insane thing he says or does. I guess there's so much of it (intentionally so?) that it's easier to give into the exhaustion instead of addressing it.

Yes I think Trump will follow the US Constitution and all of its amendments.

Harris not so much.

Haha this. Also I don’t know that he will relinquish power or refuse to run again. And I bet his voters would vote for him because the 22nd amendment is a liberal hoax or has some heretofore unknown exception or God ordained it, etc.

Project 2025 is the blueprint for how to make it happen. Why do you want to eff around and find out?

Our guardrails barely held last time, and that was when he didn’t have this sort of planning behind it. Now, they know exactly what to do to consolidate power, and this Supreme Court will rubber stamp whatever they do.


Just stop with the scare tactics.

He has stated - repeatedly - that P 2025 is not his platform. Nor is it the Republican platform.
You just look like an idiot when you keep repeating that. You look uninformed.


First, Trump is a liar and can't be trusted. Second, the stories about Trump making a decision based on the last person that talked to him are legion. He has no focus and is easy manipulated. Third, the only Republicans that have ever stood up to Trump have been summarily voted out of office and out of the party. The GOP will adopt whatever policy Trump tells them to.

A powerful conservative organization has laid out their vision for America and they are determined to implement it. Many of them already served in the first Trump administration. You can try to distance the GOP and Trump from Project 2025, but no one believes you because you aren't trustworthy.

What makes you think the first statement? Really, I am curious about your thinking process and what has persuaded you that Trump feels personally committed to following laws even when they don't favor him. Thanks.

Of course not because by then the SC would have bestowed upon him the Divine Right of the Kings.

Hmm let’s see. Of the two of them only one refuses to accept election results, claims no one will need to vote again in 2028, and promises to be a dictator.

You have that exactly backwards. Trump's own Vice President expressed concerns about Trump putting himself above the Constitution and trampling all over it. Who are you to presume you know better than Trump's own VP?

Who is notably silent despite almost being lynched by his boss’s followers in 2020. Pence is a coward and the fact that he managed to follow the constitution once is great (though it pains me to have to say that since, you know, it should be a given) but does not absolve him of all he was complicit in or ignored before and after that day.

He did not “nearly get away with it”. Not even close.

I'm far more concerned about them not accepting election results this year if they lose.

Go to the 2025 website.
Google the authors of their papers.
Note how many of them served in Trump's administration.
Then say it has nothing to do with Trump.
Or, maybe, he's just their puppet.

And go look at Trump's 2016 transition team and plan - that was also put together by the Heritage Foundation and he went along with 80% of it. Now they are back for a bigger whack at the apple.

Pence got to safety with minutes to spare. Same with Pelosi, and many others. Including Hawley, remember?

Had they been taken hostage or worse, the EC vote count would not have happened. The state delegrations in the House would have voted. Trump would've easily won.

So yeah, he did nearly get away with it.
