Erika Kirk endorsed Vice President JD Vance for president, vowing to throw one of the most influential conservative organizations in the country behind Vance in 2028.
He’d still be elected in a way that could be contested, whereas the speaker of the house doesn’t have to be a member of congress. So the method we expect is Vance/Some Asshole and then they both resign after swearing in, making Trump president again. Although this looks less and less likely as Republicans splinter.
Why wouldn’t he be eligible? The wording of your amendment specifically says “shall not be elected” clearly that means that becoming president by other means is fine, otherwise it would have said “may not serve as president” or just may not be president.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.
i reckon it’s not as black and white as i portrayed it to be earlier because, it makes sense to me that someone who is not elig to be pres through voting cannot therefore be vp through the same channels of voting.
there is debate.
i hold however hope that it will get shut down and become moot anyway.
Great news to see Republicans thinking about anyone besides Trump running for an illegal 3rd term.
And who do you think will be vice president for Vance to step down for?

he can’t be vp because he can’t be president, thank god lol.
Can you explain? I thought the amendment thing said he just can’t be elected president. Or does it say he can’t be elected vice president too?
if you are ineligible to be president you cannot be “in line” to be president such as a vp.

because one, if elected as vp, and needing to become p is, by some odd logic considered “elected.”
it’s why voting is important.
But it doesn’t say he can’t be elected as vice president, only he can’t be elected president. By being elected as VP he’s not being elected president.
You’ve just said it can’t happen, not explained what would actually stop it happening.

That absolutely will not happen, you underestimate how power hungry all of these clowns are.
