  • But there would be a metric shitton of legal proceeding and resulting settlements for years.

    I stand by my statement that breaking shit is faster and easier and takes less thought than fixing or rebuilding it.

    Yes it can be rebuilt through those means you mentioned, but the intervening generation will be fucked over pretty hard.

    I’m hoping the Incompetence that he is bringing (not to mention the infighting and backstabbing) can blunt some of the damage that he’s promising to do.







  • Assuming he doesn’t change the rules and appoint himself president forever, then the limit is 2 terms, consecutive or not.

    Even if a person started their presidential mandate partway through a 4 year cycle (as happened after Nixon stepped down and after Kennedy was shot), it’s still 2 terms, not necessarily 8 years.

    If Trump dies in the next 4 years, Vance could serve out the current term and would only be eligible to become president for one additional term.
