The Twenty-Second Amendment says “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”. Donald Trump has repeatedly said he won the 2016 and 2020 elections. How will he address this in regards to the 2024 election?
- Nobody has told Trump about the 22nd Amendment and he is unaware it exists.
- Nobody told me about the 22nd Amendment and I was unaware it exists. I don’t know what I think about this issue until Trump tells me.
- Trump has retired from politics and has no interest in running for President in the future.
- Trump realizes he cannot win an election and he will cite his ineligibility as a face-saving excuse for not running.
- If it becomes clear the Republicans will not nominate Trump as a candidate, he will cite his ineligibility as a face-saving explanation for this.
- At some point prior to the 2024 election, Trump will officially admit he didn’t win the 2020 election so he is still eligible to run for another term.
- At some point prior to the 2024 election, Trump will officially admit he didn’t win the 2020 election so he is still eligible to run for another term. But he will then publicly state that he really did win and just said he didn’t so he could run.
- The 22nd Amendment will be repealed so Trump can legally run for a third term.
- The Supreme Court will rule that the Constitution doesn’t apply to Donald Trump.
- There won’t be an election. Trump will become President by means outside the Constitution.
- Trump won’t be around by 2024 so it’s a moot point.
- Something something Hindu atheist.
