to run for a 3rd term you know who else could then run?
Barack Obama
Do you think that President Obama would sacrifice his private life to run against Trump under those circumstances? We all know that a 3rd (or more) terms are not allowed under the 22nd Amendment but we are living in different times when the far right are making every effort to destroy the Constitution and related amendments. Or, as much as she does not want to run for office, would Michelle step up and run against Trump. The Obamas really care about this country and might see it as trying to create a better future for their daughters and all of the children in this country.

(25,284 posts)Imagine the furor that this would ignite with the Repugs. They would do and say anything to prevent him from running. They would cite the Constitution and use that against him.
Then we can turn it around on them and use their words to prevent Trump from even suggesting that he would run for a third term.
Set this trap for the Repugs and Trump and let them step on their own toes and end all discussion for a third term for anyone - Obama, Trump or any other Repug or Dem in the future.

(17,865 posts)Does anyone think Trump will be around to run in 2024 anyway given what is going to happen.

(10,952 posts)Should you attempt to run for a third term as President you might find yourself running against Barack Obama. A third run by you opens the door for any prior two term Presidents to also run. And lets face it, President Obama is far more popular then you will ever be.
Would you really want to face President Obama in the debates and ballot box?
