    European here. Is a third term actually illegal/unconstitutional or is it “just” defacto illegal/unconstitutional?

      It’s the 22nd Amendment

      No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

      Pretty unambiguous.

      Extending his rein would mean he either Stops Elections, gets the constitution amended, or most insidious… just refuses to transfer power, and seeing if our military is actually complicit with the pedophile class against its own citizenry.

      Jan 6 is going to completely embolden them to try again. Is there enough MAGA to make it happen again despite it all?

      EDIT: extended rant

      I believe an amendment to the constitution forbids it, but I’m not 100% sure
