Well, there is a way around that (“oh, no, not this again”) - see any of my numerous SDMB posts about how Trump can be elected Vice-President ([here is one](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-the-odds-of-trump-winning-the-presidency-in-2024/996454/55)) in 2028; all the Republicans need now is a Presidential candidate they are convinced would resign pretty much immediately after being sworn in (and, presumably, most people who vote for him would be doing so under the impression that he would resign and Trump would become President, so they are casting _de facto_ votes for Trump for President).

Don’t be too sure about that. It looks like the Republicans will end up with 52 plus the tiebreaker. Aren’t two of the three Senators that voted against “Repeal and Don’t Replace” still in the Senate? It only takes one of the other 50 to be the next John McCain.
