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

Here's what Project 2025 says about Climate Change:

Climate Change
l Remove the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) for any source
category that is not currently being regulated. The overall reporting
program imposes significant burdens on small businesses and companies
that are not being regulated. This is either a pointless burden or a sword-of-
Damocles threat of future regulation, neither of which is appropriate.
l Establish a system, with an appropriate deadline, to update the 2009
endangerment finding.
l Establish a significant emissions rate (SER) for greenhouse gasses (GHGs).

That's IT????!!!!

So, to answer the OP from months ago, sure, DJT is going to stay in office, and God Help You if you don't have enough money or power to protect yourself from the effects of worsening climate change. A second DJT administration will do nothing whatsoever to curb the use of fossil fuels, and everything in its power to expand their use, exacerbating climate change immeasurably.

Be very afraid of this Orange Dictator and his conservative handlers.

Nope. Only if it serves his interest to do so, or if he's actually physically incapable. America is lucky in one respect - Trump didn't get involved in politics until he was elderly. That's a lucky break.

FWIW Trump is 77 and his father lived to be 93.

His father also had Alzheimer's and I would bet a few dollars that Trump also has Alzheimer's.

While he claims he has won twice, he has only served 4 years as President. After his "second win", he was not inaugurated as President, so he still has 6 years left that he can serve before her reaches the term limit.

How do you figure six? A. Presidential term is four years.

So long as it keeps him out of prison, I don't think he would ever leave office willingly

I wonder if the previous poster was Eric.... You still need to work on your math skills buddy.

Listen Trump used to be quite liberal until he realized that he could win easier with the far right. They were easier and more gullible and already primed to join a cult. He created one.
What I would love is for him to win again, but this time swing back to his old liberal self after......which let's be honest. He likely still is deep down....... And watch the head spin of all of the maga folk

He has only served for four years. The 22nd amendment says that a person may serve no longer than 10 years as President. This allows someone who ascended to the Presidency without being elected. For example, Gerald Ford, ascended to the presidency in August 1974. When his term of office ended in January 1977, he had served less than 2 years. He could have been reelected President for two more full terms.

So, after serving one full 4-year term, Trump could serve up to 6 more years. For example, if he were elected as Vice President, and more than 2 years into the office, he succeeded into the Presidency and he served less than 2 full years, he could still run for a full term as President. He is eligible for up to 6 years more. However, once he has served two full terms, he could not be elected to a third term because completing the third term would make him exceed the 10 year limit.

Looks like this topic was covered in a recent interview with Hugh Hewitt:

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/12/asking-trump-will-you-be-a-dictator-isnt-a-real-question.html

Hewitt begins by asking Trump if he will peacefully surrender power at the end of his next term, something he failed to do the previous time. Naturally, he cited his friend Hannity:

Hugh Hewitt: Now, President Trump, you have been accused by all sorts of people in the Beltway of planning on being a tyrant and a dictator. I saw you on with our friend Sean, and you made a joke. I thought it was a joke that you wanted to be a dictator for a day. But a bunch of them said, “Oh, see, he’s serious — one day.” So I want to put it to you bluntly. If you are reelected, will you peacefully surrender power at the end of your second term, as required by the Constitution?

Donald Trump: Of course. And I did that this time. And I’ll tell you what: The election was rigged, and we have plenty of evidence of it. But I did it anyway. The other question you should ask is you should ask the other side, “Will you cheat on the elections?” Because the only way we’re going to lose is if they cheat on the elections.

Trump begins by saying “of course.” But then he insists he also peacefully transferred power after losing in 2020, which is obviously not true — he attempted to steal a second term and incited a violent riot in an attempt to hold power. So basically he is promising that if you liked the way he handled the postelection transfer of power in 2020, you’ll approve of how he does it at the end of his next term. He is promising the same pattern of behavior.

He hasn’t been convicted of holding office twice so it doesn’t apply.

My sister who has early onset of Alzheimer’s thinks he does. Now that she pointed it out I can’t I see it.

Of course he will, but he will try like heck to get a Trump clone to succeed him.

Yep, will ride of into the sunset, waiting for his face to be added to Mount Rushmore. Wouldn’t have run this time if it wasn’t for the “trumped up” charges they brought against him. Would have preferred to have played the role of kingmaker. But no, had to go and poke the honey badger. Bad move.

If he is elected in 2024 and inaugurated in January 2025, then in January 2029, whether or not he wants to vacate the office, his term will end and he will no longer have any powers of the presidency. The military the FBI and the Secret Service would all no longer have to follow his orders. And they can escort him off the premises. The only way he would be able to stay is if he was able to replace all those in those branches with loyalists who also were willing to commit a federal felony in supporting him. While I think there may be many (as January 6 showed us), I don't think there is a plurality of those who would support this treason. That's where it would end. He would not be able to hold the office without a siege of the White House.

Sounds like must see TV
