U.S. President Donald Trump once again hinted at the idea of serving a third term, saying he was “not 100 percent sure” he was barred from doing so under the Constitution, which forbids it.

The Supreme Law of the Land, The Constitution bars him from a 3rd term. It would take a constitutional amendment to change that, which requires 2/3’s of both houses, and 3/4 of the states. LoL, no buddy you can’t. He’s not 100% sure of a lot of things, this is but one, a huge one.
He is currently working on breaking the back of the constitution.
The whole “stopping funding” thing is a ploy to create a case that let him ask the supreme court to let his handlers ignore congress and remove the separation of powers that is one of the cornerstones of that entire document.
It’s article 1. President isn’t until article 2
Have you taken a look at other portions of the constitution that would have blocked him this time around AND other laws that he’s breaking with his Executive Orders right now? Laws and the Constitution mean nothing if no one will enforce them, he has the other two branches of the government in his pocket, and I wouldn’t put it passed him to stage some sort of emergency suspending the next election to maintain power. WWIII isn’t off the table, especially with how he’s bullying our allies and sucking up to our enemies.
Tbf, his unconstitutional executive orders will not stand. The constitution is being enforced, a Reagan-Era judge just shot down the one on birthright citizenship without a second thought. Even if he tries to pull a Hitler, I have faith that he will fail, and he will not pass an amendment to make any of this possible.
What scares me isn’t some kind of emergency power grab, it’s the Supreme Court. If they look at one of his unconstitutional orders and say “Eh, fuck all prior case law and decisions by this very court, you’re good.” that is an unprecedented misuse of power and would undermine the entire point of the constitution.
you mean like that whole immunity thing?
IANAL
