Should President Trump be allowed a 3rd term?

[airplanemechanic]

Should President Trump be allowed a 3rd term?

In which prison?

The white house.

 

[Winco]

Let's pretend it ever gets that far.

Trump runs for 3rd term.
Obama runs for 3rd term.

It's OVER.

Obama would destroy Dotard trump in any election.

 

[Kondor3]

...This is what I've always wondered about Republicans support of Trump. If they are weary of dealing with his baggage, why wouldn't they just cut their losses and toss him under the bus?...

They bought into his bull$hit and now they've got a tiger by the tail and don't dare let go?

 

[Syriusly]

Well....in extra-ordinary times we need extraordinary leaders like Trump or FDR during WW2 who was allowed 4 terms

The ill-considered impeachment efforts against President Donald Trump have seriously interfered with his first term as president. Thus, argues constitutional scholar William Mattox in The Wall Street Journal, if acquitted, Trump should be eligible for a third term, notwithstanding the two-term limit in the 22nd Amendment.

Mattox deploys a sports analogy: “In the National Football League, teams can challenge a call on the field — but there’s a risk. If instant replay doesn’t merit overturning the call, the challenging team loses one of its three timeouts. That discourages frivolous challenges and keeps the game flowing, while also providing a way to reverse egregious errors.”

Hence, a third term for the president: “That would allow him to make up for the time lost advancing the agenda that voters elected him to enact. It would preserve impeachment for genuine offenses but discourage its use for disputed ones and for mere politics. Absent such an amendment, and in an era when government is divided more often than not, impeachment seems likely to become an increasingly common means of opposition.”

I have frankly just gotten too damn used to Trumpskies suggesting that Trump can just ignore the Constitution.

Trump has literally gotten Republicans to start to believe that Trump just is not bound by the Constitution like other Presidents- more akin to a king or despot than an American President.

 

[Syriusly]

The Republican Party could not withstand a third term.

Hell, there's some considerable reason to believe that they could not withstand a second.

Every ten minutes, Republicans have to rally to Trump's defense over his latest gaffe or faux pas or scandalous behavior.

You'd think they'd get tired of it after a few years and be ready to back somebody who actually thinks before he talks and acts and tweets.

Republicans really do need a breather... some competent, likable front-man (or -woman) that's a bit more Low Maintenance than this one.

This is what I've always wondered about Republicans support of Trump. If they are weary of dealing with his baggage, why wouldn't they just cut their losses and toss him under the bus? And then back a reasonable candidate. Then you take a look at Trump's popularity among registered Republicans (something like 92%) and you start to see why they have to go all in on Trump. To go against him is political suicide. All of the reasonable voices in the Republican Party have gone silent out of fear..or retired because they know the battle is lost.

Yep- it is no longer the Republican Party- it is the Trump Party.

President could get a 3rd term only if the congress and senate vote to repeal the amendment restricting presidents to only 2 terms. Maybe after the Dems lose the house and more senate seats go republican, it just might happen....

Technically Amendments can't be canceled- which is why the 18th Amendment had to be overridden by the 21st Amendment.

So it would take a 2/3 majority in the House and Senate and 3/4 of the states to ratify it.

Do I believe that the Trump Party might actually try to amend the Constitution so that their Dear Leader can continue on?

Well Putin is doing it. And Trump so admires Putin.

Yes! He's been cheated out of his first term.

There are no reasonable democratic candidates to back, nor is anyone going to beat Trump in the primaries. It might be political suicide to go against Trump on the GOP side, but the Dems have no one on their side that is even worth considering. No one, not even Hillary if she should decide to get in.

How can a guy, that has accomplished "more than any President EVER, djt" be cheated out of his first term?
Cowards, you RWI's are all Cowards.

FUCK NO


Don't ever invoke the constitution if you're so eager to violate it.

There are four (maybe five) reasonable Democrats to back. Three of whom would beat Trump in a head to head election, two others on the margin. Your values and beliefs just have to align with theirs. If not, vote for Trump. So far, there are several states that won't even hold Republican primaries. That's just flat out cowardice. William Weld, Mark Sanford, and Joe Walsh are all running against him. If he had to get on a debate stage with these men, he's cooked. To say nothing of getting on a debate stage with the Democratic candidates...where he'd be more cooked.

Hillary is in Donnie's head...and the rest of Trump's supporters...rent..free.

TRUMP would be POTUS till he dies if this were the case, since we know democrats will be repeating this impeachment hoax during TRUMP's 2nd and 3rd term. They will not stop no matter how many times they fail.

[LordBrownTrout]

The Republican Party could not withstand a third term.

Hell, there's some considerable reason to believe that they could not withstand second.

It's going to take them years to recovery from one. Hell, I'm not sure they're even a party anymore, they certainly aren't the Republicans I signed onto when I was 18.

At this point, they should just change their name to TOP (Trump's Own Party) because they are no longer the GOP.

Another few years of this and a Republican won't be able to get elected Town Dogcatcher...

That's what they say every election and yet both parties come back like herpes, stronger than ever for a few days.

I don't think so......Trump is a patriot...of which there are very few in Washington are....anyhow--I am sure he would hand it off once he is convinced we are on the right track.

Lots of liberals due to their extreme bias simply cannot understand what is going on.....Trump will go down as our Greatest President and more and more are beginning to undestand that....if the people demand he be allowed a third term...he will get it.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Of course he should be allowed a 3rd term. Just to make up for democrat obstruction.

Outside of Andrew Johnson and Donald Trump if this is your list, you don't have much of a case. And while Bush Jr was a terrible President, nothing he did rose to the level of asking for his impeachment (no matter what left wingers said).
