They convulse to such state when they face the facts. Most are heavily influenced by Trump and Putin bromance although we all know that he was manupulated by Putin all the while.

Currently Correct.  I have heard of the two term policy.

 

I have not seen it nor read it so unaware of the exact details.  Two terms total or consecutive?

 

Can it be changed or appealed?  The left was adamant about changing the Second Amendment and others to fit their agenda.

 

If there’s a legal way, Trump will attempt and likely succeed.

 

Art of The Deal

 

 

I am reluctant, as a foreigner to comment, but the two terms limit is, I understand, rather more than a policy, it is part of the Constitution, put into place by the 22nd Amendment.

 

It limits all President's to two terms, consecutive or separated.

 

I understand that it would require an amendment again to remove it. That would require to be passed in both houses of Congress, I am unsure as to the maths as to the majorities required, but I am pretty sure that they are significantly greater than the knife edge majorities presently enjoyed by The Republican Party. That the Republican Party will achieve the sort of majorities required after next year's Mid Term elections is perhaps unlikely. I also understand that a majority of States ( again I am unsure as to how great a majority) would have to ratify the process before any such amendment would become effective.

 

I suppose I could Google the details, but I am sure that American members have the details at their fingertips!

 

Anyway I should imagine that, even with the total control of both houses which would be required, the whole process would take rather more than the 2 years available.

No to repeal a constitutional amendment involves ratification by the states. That can take decades.

That's not going to happen in this case.

What might happen and in fact is very possible is for the republicans to refuse to certify election results that they lost. In other words, a fascist takeover which is already actively happening in the U.S.

The democrats taking congress in 26 would prevent that specific scenario but the maga fascists are actively working to make that impossible.

So sorry you don't understand the US constitution,maybe try and read this article really slow and ask your mommy to explain it to you.

 So you are saying now trump was not elected twice in a row?

According to himself ,he was but?

 

 

Appears your reading comprehension is lacking.  Adult night school is available for adults like you.

 

In my earlier post I admitted I was unaware of the fine details of the 22nd.  Only hearsay.

 

 Where in my post did I say Trump was not elected twice?  Go back and look extra hard but it isn’t there.

So it is possible for the 22nd to be amended.  Let’s hope Trump can make this possible.

 

I recommend @NoDisplayName as your comprehension tutor.  His reply was much more intelligent and informative than yours.

Your first six words…priceless.

 

Our 22nd amendment resident expert @jvs(USC?)  was gracious enough to post the 22nd from all places…WIKIPEDIA 

Consecutive or separated term of Presidency was not clearly stated .  Only two terms.  

Up for interpretation by a higher court other than the AN’s rank and file lawyers and judges.

 

Lets hope Trump can have this amended for a consecutive term.

You know, every time you’re challenged and have no legitimate reply it’s not trolling.

 

As someone who quotes percentages, graphs and spreadsheets like a statistical wizard I’m quite surprised.

 

My only conclusion is it’s your coping mechanism when you have no legitimate reply.

Stop spreading lies and more importantly PROPAGANDA.  Or else you may be reported by @BarraMarra  One of his pet peeves.

 

You may be redeemed if you provide solid facts to back up your claim.

Ultimately you need to cut off and or massively  reduce Putin's 'ability to make War Money', DT knows how to crush it but only talking about it does not work. Putin must have DT on cctv in one of Epstein's massage rooms back in the day.........😉

1.  Such as selling oil to China?

2.  Correct.  Trump is talking about it.  It’s not over until it’s over.

3.  As I stated earlier, one can sugar coat it all they want but it boils down to Putin/Zelensky.  Trump is only the facilitator.

 

BTW, just heard Canada surrendered to Trump.  Assuming you’re Canadian.

I believe ''surrendered'' is inaccurate, there's more stick handling going on now, the gloves were dropped a few months back it's all part of the game........BTW, it appears you have surrendered to your King.

You need to source quotes. If I remember correctly this is a couple of years old. Thing is he won't give up territory. The other thing is Putin's troops continue to take territory.
