    The 22nd Amendment of the United States Constitution states “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”.

    Were Trump to run, states are obliged to not place him on the ballot and ignore his candidacy.

    If Trump cannot run, yet still seeks the office, it is safe to infer his intention to steal the presidency. Thus making him a fugitive, traitor, and enemy of the people.

      I read somewhere that his only “legal” option for becoming president for another term is by running as the vice presidential candidate, and then having whoever was voted for president resign. He wouldn’t technically be elected to the presidency, and thus could exploit a loophole.

      That being said, I’m certain it would be challenged in court. The fact that it could even get that far is pretty disheartening
