[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The constitution’s 22nd amendment states that no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.

Article II states that the President shall hold his office during the term of four years.

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?[/quote]

No. [/quote]

Do you think Trump would cancel the 2028 election, and presumably all future elections?  Or would he just run again in 2028 and then refuse to accept the results if he loses?[/quote]
I have often wondered what would happen if he won again and then wanted to run again for a third term counter to the Constitution. I think technically the states would have to refuse to put him on the ballot because he would be ineligible, just as ineligible as someone who is only 30, or someone who was actually born in Kenya. But lord knows there are about 20 or more states that would put him on the ballot anyway, Constitution be damned. So then someone would have to have standing to sue to get him removed. How would that work?[/quote]
