Former President Donald Trump said he would "love" to run against former President Barack Obama in 2028, despite the constitutional ban on third terms.
“I know it’s hypothetical right now, but if you’re allowed for some reason to run for a third term, is there a thought that Democrats could try to run Barack Obama against you?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump in the Oval Office on Monday..
This reads like an obvious ploy to soften the idea to his base. They hate Obama too, probably because Trump does.
What other opponent would ire them more? Also, if someone like Obama was on-board, it would be more of a challenge to the rule against it from both sides.
Democrats rally behind Obama, Voting machine hackers behind Trump.
Is like a pretext to calling Obama a chicken for not doing it down the road.
No. Hard stop. This is just him trying to force Dems to decide that they’re okay with the idea of a third term and then use that admission against them to support why it’s okay for him.
I actually just saw the video. He actually talked about only having 4 years to do everything, I think things on here get a little over exaggerated a bit sometimes . I Suggest looking to up.
I’m convinced the only reason he went from saying he’ll run to actually trying to run was that White House Correspondent’s dinner in 2011 where Obama made fun of Trump a bunch.
Now look at what you did!! The time-space continuum is ruined and we have oompa loompas with long necties wrecking the geopolitical and economical landscape!
"But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
-12th Amendment
Also, succession skips other people who would be ineligible, as the requirements for being a member of the House allow people who are ineligible to be President to serve as Speaker of the House, who is otherwise 3rd in line.
