I can dig that. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) The 22nd amendment goes: 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. So if you can believe someone else stole the election in 2016 for Trump, then he wasn't elected, and if he wasn't really super duper sworn in, then he can get two more terms. Which with any luck should let him die in office, thus not having to go to jail. If you listen to some of the MAGA folks, they'll want to believe this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Techmaster@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) or acted as president Checkmate!
