Summary from Wikipedia:
The President of the United States is elected to have that position for a period, or "term", that lasts for four years. The Constitution had no limit on how many times a person could be elected as president. The nation’s first president, George Washington chose not to try to be elected for a third term. This suggested that two terms were enough for any president. Washington’s two-term limit became the unwritten rule for all Presidents until 1940.
In 1940, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt won a third term. He also won a fourth term in 1944. Roosevelt was president through the Great Depression of the 1930s and almost all of World War II. He held approval ratings in the mid-50% to the low 60% ranges over his many years in office. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage in April of 1945, just months after the start of his fourth term. Soon after, Republicans in Congress began the work of creating Amendment XXII. Roosevelt was the first and only President to serve more than two terms.
The amendment was passed by Congress in 1947, and was ratified by the states on February 27, 1951. The Twenty-Second Amendment says a person can only be elected to be president two times for a total of eight years. It does make it possible for a person to serve up to ten years as president. This can happen if a person (most likely the Vice-President) takes over for a president who can no longer serve their term. If this person serves two years or less of the preceding President’s term, he or she may serve for two more four-year terms. If he or she served more than two years of the last President's term, the new President can serve only one full four-year term. Under the language of the amendment, the President at the time of its ratification (Harry Truman) was exempt from the two-term limitation. Truman served nearly all of Roosevelt's unexpired fourth term and then was elected President once, serving his own four year term.

The problem I see with Congress is that a.) No 'recall' function exists to remove bad congressmen on the state level; and b.) The district-by-district system ensures congressmen can entrench themselves in places they may never get voted out of, instead of being voted on by the whole country, so they are elected according to where the country is going, because their job is to make laws for the whole country and not for their state or district.

[@SirFrankoman]

Objection, an ex-president who has served two full terms CANNOT be elected as vice president. The 12th Amendment dictates that a vice president can not be selected if they are not eligible for president. It's not ambiguous, it directly states "No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States". They are not constitutionally eligible since the 22nd amendment restricts a candidate from being elected for more than two terms.

[@migmit]

That's true, your honor, but the ex-president is not barred explicitly from BECOMING a president once more, merely from RUNNING for a president. Therefore, technically, an ex-president is eligible for president, and, therefore, CAN become a vice president, should he so desire and people so allow. So, the ambiguity is still there.

[@PrinceOfKenya]

@@migmit Oh God it’s a logical loop. If he’s qualified to be president because he could technically go through the vice-presidency to get there, then the 12th doesn’t apply and he can be vice-president. But if he’s disqualified because of the 12th, then the 12th does apply and he can’t go through the vice-presidency. It just depends on where you choose to start.

[@migmit]

@@PrinceOfKenya Not sure about that, actually. There are other ways to become POTUS - for example, by being a speaker of the House, who, if I'm not mistaken, is the third in line for presidency. Therefore, if an ex-president is barred from running for VP, they can still, theoretically, become president through other means, therefore eligible for presidency, therefore allowed to run for VP. I would also argue that even if there aren't any way someone can become president, it still doesn't mean that someone is ineligible. If you don't have money to buy a house (lowercase "H"), it doesn't make you "ineligible for homeownership". More importantly, if it does, then the same loop can apply to anyone: if some X is ineligible for presidency, that fact would make it illegal for them to become president in any way, and, following your logic, would mean that X is ineligible for presidency.

[@PrinceOfKenya]

@@migmit Yeah, you’re right. I suppose it comes down to the interpretation of “ineligible”, which is concerning given the current state of the Supreme Court.

@Spring Ranch From Lil Giant Guess Biden Administration is not busily taking away YOUR liberties while he is taking away MINE? Or perhaps you do not care for liberty and prefer the semi Socialism we have now to just blend into the Marxism we are quickly falling into? Guess censorship of conservatives does not bother you. Nor a lack of Freedom of the Press? Of course you’d better hope you do not change your mind about those things cuz they are also planning to take away the last line of defense for the citizen: soon only criminals and Social Justice rioters will have the right to carry, or be released from jail without having to post bail. Because only the rioters and the illegal immigrants will be allowed the right to not be prosecuted and will have those Get Out of Jail Free Cards. Conservatives and political opponents are prosecuted even if there is no applicable law, and if there IS an applicable law, they go to jail for twice the time of a regular sentence. But you will not mind that. They are just conservatives, or Democrats that have offended or embarrassed other Democrats. Conservatives are just those nutty conspiracy theorists and the idea that those conspiracies are all coming true is just silly. After all, the noose is not pinching you, yet. You do not mind having your leaders chosen for you, instead of elected, because you do not agree with those crazy Trump Supporters. The “living Constitution” the “Progressives” believe in will renege on your rights whenever it is expedient for the collective, just like it happens in Communist Russia and the CCP. You will not mind until it is You who is deemed out of sync with the collective, and then it will be too late.

@Spring Ranch From Lil Giant What in the heck are you talking about? I wrote every word of that comment, and I DID NOT JUST repeat things told to me. Your comment makes no sense.

The things I spoke of are widely known by this nation-even those not holding my political viewpoint. THE LEGISLATORS discuss these things in Congress!! Are you just hired by Social Media to respond to everyone one, with inane comments? I just listed the things that are HAPPENING TO CONSERVATIVES RIGHT NOW. You speak to me as if I had just spoken of things I had HEARD about. These things have HAPPENED TO ME. Not only that, but the widespread Social Media censorship was announced BEFOREHAND on public television-so that everyone would know in advance! Are you entirely ignorant of our culture? Censorship is being fought not only HERE, but SEVERAL countries like India, Australia, France and Germany have stood up and denounced the censorship of the Social Media. I myself have had my texts censored, and at least half the channels I once listened to have been removed on several occasions. About 1/3 of them have never come back. Even the news like Epoch Times which is a news agency started several years ago by Chinese American immigrants wanting to uncover CCP abuse, has been censored on Social Media. Naturally they are planning to move. On what grounds have you accused me of merely parroting television propaganda? In the same breath you have ADMITTED that this country has been split by the wide difference in coverage of the TRUTH and coverage of DISINFORMATION. THAT PROVES MY POINT ABOUT FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. Our Mainstream Media (MSM), suppresses the TRUTH and promulgates disinformation. They have done so for DECADES. I have been at two different activities, over thirty years ago, where the MSM outride lied about what was going on and/or lied about numbers. I can personally testify in a court of law about those two, that is how obvious they were. If you are from the CCP you can just go away. You are not going to fool anyone. Most people will not even bother to engage you in conversation or discuss this with you. I will give you one thing-your English is better than the last fool who tried to do this.

Now Monsanto buying one of the best, largest and well known private mercenary security firms on the planet is not worrying, no not at all, the same people who are trying to corner the worlds food supply and make it legally theirs having its own private military is no reason to bat an eye.

While our current Supreme Court is up for grabs (if you can afford them, that is) the general legal consensus is that Section 2 of the Constitution says that to be eligible for office of the VP you need to be eligible for the office of the President. The 22nd amendment stipulates that once you've been elected President twice (or served for 10 years minus one day in a very SPECIFIC scenario) you are no longer eligible to be President so you cannot be elected Vice-President either.

Not enough content providers’ production staff get recognition - and editors rarely ever get recognition anywhere - but I thought your editor particularly deserves a call out, as an film studies graduate myself. Kudos to them. Great job 👍 (hope you pay them well 😉)

Saying "I think I would be elected again if I was eligible to run" and "I should get a third term" are a little different don't you think?

[@anjobanjo1221]

I certainly do.

[@arianamiller7249]

This also brings up another point: If Trump is eligible to run for a 3rd term, then so is every other 2-term ex-POTUS...including Trump's predecessor...

OBJECTION: Amendment 12 last clause states "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

[@scottmichael3745]

Impressive! I didn't know that. Thanks.

[@peterconway6584]

I didn't remember that specifically, but I knew there was an amendment clause covering exactly that. So the latter part of the video seemed wrong to me.

[@stopandthink3479]

@Garrod Saxon I am not convinced that an ex-President can run for Vice President. My argument would go like this; The 12th amendment has the phrase "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." To interpret this only with respect to the citizenship and age requirements as specified in Article II, would be to ignore the impact that amendments have. When the 22nd amendment was ratified, it added additional qualifications to become president, that being that a person who has already been elected to 2 terms is constitutionally ineligible to run again. Since they are ineligible to run again does that make them constitutionally ineligible to be VP? It is clearly a question which has yet to be answered. You are correct, legislative intent is relevant. If the legislative intent was that the office not be held by the same person for more than a set amount of time, it is likely that the phrase in the 12th amendment can be interpreted to prohibit an ex-president from becoming president who is otherwise constitutionally ineligible to be president. The clue to this is the fact that a VP who ascends to the office of president for more than 2 years of their predecessors term, would be ineligible to be elected twice. So clearly, the legislative intent is to limit how long someone can be president and not just how many times they can be elected.

[@nomadmyke5658]

@Stephen Ritger we all know Hillary Clinton ran the office when Bill was the president and she almost became our president that would have made 3 terms and possibly a 4th

[@luckymeyer1014]

At the very beginning, he absolutely was not joking about a third, fourth, and fifth term. It wasn't until people mocked him, and showed how horrible they think that would be, that he began to mock back and pretend he was just joking. Half the damn country believed him. 🙄

Objection (maybe?): You didn't mention Congressman Alcee Hastings. He was a federal judge until he was impeached and removed in 1989. He was elected to the US Congress in 1993. He is still serving today.

[@applebottomjeans6708]

Congress has no term limit

[@gauchplant]

@@applebottomjeans6708 I wasn't saying it did. However, in a video that mentions impeachment and whether someone who is impeached and removed from an office can serve in a position of trust, I feel that the Congressman is deserving of at least a mention.

[@Encryptsan]

@@gauchplant The decision to bar someone from holding a public office is a separate vote to the removal vote. So in the case of Alcee Hastings, he was impeached, and they voted to remove him, however they did not vote to disqualify him from holding future offices. www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Impeachment_Hastings.htm

[@Encryptsan]

@The Strawberry Pimp Not accurate, we just watched a video in which a lawyer told us that the vote to remove and the vote to disqualify from future office are two separate votes.

[@novat9731]

Would that not qualify as a state office? Congress is after all a collection of representatives working for the states. Not employed by the fedeeal government.

Here in Argentina something similar to that happened. J.D Peron was banned from 1973 election (or any further one). His party presented H. Campora as presiden candidate, Campora won the election (and got mayority in congress), nullified Peron´s bann and resign to the office in less than a month, calling for a new election, whit Peron as candidate.

No, thats an obvious answer. The real question would be, when\if brain uploading becomes a thing, one would imagine a copy of your brain scan being a very private thing. That level of tech implies that you can save states and transfer minds. So how do you prove that you are who you say you are? I mean, who would want a powerful countries leader to have to show the contents of his brain? If futurists are correct, this is where we are one day headed. Shit is gonna get confusing and complicated. If you plot confusing and complicated on a graph, Id say we have been on an exponential curve since the 60s at the very latest.
