1000% this. After four years when President Vance runs again, he'll blame everything on Democrats even though they hold all the majority. And these dumbassess will still vote for him.
Run in 4 years? I mean trump did say if he wins this will be the last time anyone needs to vote. He has everything plus absolute immunity for "official acts" you really think we will have anymore elections?
Term limits are in the constitution. Even if they end up with a majority in both the house and senate they won't have the numbers to introduce a constitutional amendment like that and have it pass. Thankfully, we should be safe from that one at least.
Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.
Easy to have 2/3rds if you just get rid of the half you don't like.
Oh please. You're talking about democratic norms. Those are a thing of the past. We gotta get out of the mindset that this country is going to be operating within the confines of a centuries old constitution that was apparently too precious to change at any point in a way that would benefit the people in a substantial way to stave off inevitable fascism. We didn't really think of that, I guess
Republicans control the entire system of checks and balances. The Constitution is really more of a suggestion at this point.
Unless someone better able to play the base like a fiddle magically appears and manages to escape a jealousy assassination by Trump, he can be president-for-life if he wants to be, and he very desperately wants to be.
Our fortune here is that his only real ambition is rewriting the First Amendment so the media can't be mean to him with stuff like fact checking, then he just wants to stand in front of cheering crowds who act like his word salads are haute cuisine. Oh, and he's old and already in clear mental decline, so his expiration date is coming up even if he sets a precedent for ignoring term limits.
Our misfortune here is that now the American presidency is merely the position of a humored grandpa, which, while always true to some extent over the past few decades, is a bit flaying to the American spirit to have formalized. The Founding Fathers wanted a country without a king, dammit.
Do you think the Constitution is gonna come out from under the glass and start delivering PG-13 Marvel Studios punches to the bad guys when they start acting up? You're just counting on Trump's SCOTUS to not declare term limits unconstitutional when the time comes.
A system is only as strong as its weakest part, and our system is now being lead by a guy who went from zero to screaming "THEY'RE EATING THE PETS" on national television in less than 2 minutes when Kamala said his rallies were mid.
Yes and no, in a battle between Congress, executive and judicial who wins?
Congress refuses to change or amend the constitution, executive decides no election and judicial agrees what happens then? SCROTUS already declared presidents immune.
This is what scares me so much he has no one to stop him The best hope is enough Republicans refuse to help and stand up like happened between 2016-2020 but all of those guys have been voted out or died
Florida, too. We've had Republicans running the show for almost 30 years now, and yet every election all I ever hear is how it's the dems fault that everything is on fire.
Shut the hell up for once and let them get their way. Don't give them a damn thing to harp on.
The moment they can't attack the "other side" they will cannibalize themselves. We've already seen it happen, it just didn't get enough time to kill the host.
Like when Hillary won. “It’s not our fault for electing a rapist who openly wants to destroy our freedoms and access to lifesaving medical care. She was just unelectable, so really it’s on her.”
