1. Good luck getting an amendment to the Constitution passed and ratified in 3 years (2, really when you consider our insanely long election cycles).
2. I will be surprised if Trump's ailments haven't taken him to meet his maker before the end of his second term. If he manages to survive that long, his brain will likely be so far gone by then he may not even be able to speak. The decline in his verbal abilities continues unabated.
@georgetakei God has nothing to do with who is in office in our country, Steve! There was no crisis until Trump took office!
@georgetakei the constitution only works when enforced.
King #Trump thinks that laws don't apply to him.
@georgetakei This says it's not likely. https://augustafreepress.com/news/explainer-debunking-the-leaked-cpac-memo-on-a-trump-third-term/
@georgetakei Trump is trying to put his creatures in statehouses to facilitate his constitutional coronation, like his flying monkey Tom Tiffany in Wisconsin.
@georgetakei that’s so dumb. Finish your fucking business you loser.
The Constitution forbids being *elected* to a third term. Hello, loophole. All you have to do to seize power is not get elected. Trump shouldn’t have a problem with that.
@georgetakei Nazi Germany playbook all the way. 🙄
@georgetakei I call BULLSHIT.
@georgetakei feels a bit like in ruzzia when they zeroed the dictators presidential periods when he had hit the max limit...
THEY DON'T CARE. There is no going back now. They would all be shot for #treason. #Trumpistan.
@georgetakei
@georgetakei he will keep claiming the country is in crisis and extend the terms indefinitely
@georgetakei and yet, we aaaallllll will let it happen if nothing changes.
@georgetakei No, it's *not* unconstitutional to amend the Constitution, but great care must be taken in doing so.
If, for example, an Amendment were passed which said women can be beaten on Sundays, it would be constitutional, though it would be immoral and awful.
@georgetakei consider the fact the constitution says that the orange turd can not hold any elected office after engaging in an insurrection we are far past relying on a piece of parchment to stop this child rapist.
@georgetakei Do Trump and the rest of the antisocial scum at the top of the food chain really need a third term? They should have already completed the complete plundering of the US and the abolition of any remnants of democracy during their second term.
Sorry but I must laugh at their wet dream
Article V, U.S. Constitution
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, ….
@georgetakei So that's why I see Obama in the news again? In case this gets through?
@georgetakei That asshole can spend his 3rd term at Rikers where he belongs.
हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
