    The term limit is Constitutional so he should have got something on the ballot this cycle if he wanted that changed. Here’s the kicker though, it’s not a lifetime limit. He can’t serve more than 2 consecutive terms but he could come back in 2030.

    Considering he’s had laws Changed in the past to protect his position, this wasn’t a crazy thought. It sent me doing research to see if it was possible.

          Well, not without enough support from congress + senate. While Trump might not have the power for that initially, they can just use an administrative state packed with Trump loyalists to attack democrats.

            At first thought, this was a crazy idea, but I did a little looking.

            It turns out that Article Four Section 4 of the United States Constitution requires Congress to ensure that every state has a Republican form of government.
