Possibly, here is a lawyer’s take on it:

I am not a lawyer. But this might be a clue:
“perhaps the Nation could call on a former two-term President by electing him as Vice President even with the knowledge that the plan all along was for the President to resign immediately upon taking Office.”
There are also methods for ensuring that he’s not biologically capable of doing illegal shit like this. Not joking either.
I’d acquit.
Username checks out.
I’d support paying a reward.
Apparently sometimes leaning on amendments of the constitution is required to protect said constitution and hence the people protected by it.
Not a lawyer, but the law is written so that if you wouldn’t legally be able to serve as President you cannot be VP either, meaning legally this plan has no legs.
Anyone else notice this being very similar to what Putin did when he termed out?
That’s what I thought, too, But according to that law firm’s (https://cornerstonelaw.us/22nd-amendment-doesnt-say-think-says/) article,
While the Amendment’s drafters spilled extra ink ensuring that someone who is elevated to the Presidency for more than two years of another President’s term due to that other President’s death or removal from office, it does nothing to clarify that one who is elected twice cannot rise to the Presidency again. In short, if the 22nd Amendment’s purpose was to ensure that there was a 10 year maximum on service for anyone regardless of how they became President, it could have said so.
and with our Supreme Court in his pocket…

I’m not a lawyer either, but my take on it is that they will argue that whilst the 12th Amendment requires that the VP candidate be eligible for the office of President, that eligibility is not the same as the election constraint of the 22nd Amendment and that the 22nd Amendment doesn’t actually address eligibility.
The Constitution is an incredible document and is worthy of careful reading and study. You never know what ambiguities might be there underneath the surface.
Or, you know, it’s just a leaky, overhyped piece of legalese bs
I’m skeptical the US will survive the next 4 years.
Not the US that its allies once knew, not the land of the free not the land for free speech either. What it turns into will far more disgusting.
He’s a complete and total dumb-dumb
If America is at war he could remain President, right? And guess what he’s preparing for…
That has never happened during all the times the US was at war. So no.
That’s wrong actually.
