[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI - The American Conservative now wants to abolish the 22nd Amendment:

[quote]The case of Donald Trump, however, makes an even more forceful ethical argument against the Twenty-second Amendment and for its repeal: If a man who once was president returns, after a series of years, to stand again for the office and proves so popular as to earn a second nonconsecutive term—as Trump seems bound to do—to deny him the right to run for a second consecutive term cuts against basic fair play. If, by 2028, voters feel Trump has done a poor job, they can pick another candidate; but if they feel he has delivered on his promises, why should they be denied the freedom to choose him once more?[/quote][/quote]

There's so much wrong with this article. For one thing, there's zero chance that Amendment gets repealed, [b]nor is there any wiggle room for the courts. [/b]He's also very unlikely to still be alive in four years. It won't be surprising if/when he finally succumbs to natural causes in the next couple of years (his lawyers won't be able to appeal that to buy more time). If he somehow beats the odds to still be alive in four years (not to mention beating his dementia), the question really is what will the Republicans do if he insists on running again when he inevitably loses this Fall. I'm sure most of them are secretly waiting for him to be permanently moved out.[/quote]

Doesn’t the Supreme Court get to make the ultimate decision as to whether or not there is “wiggle room”?[/quote]
