Dear Editor,
A congressman has proposed that Trump be allowed to run for a third term of office. This would require a complicated constitutional Amendment, unless MAGA takes its cue from the President himself. Trump recently said, “I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we just have to figure it out.’”
Here are some of the ways to “figure it out” without the required amendment:
1. Declare an emergency and refuse to leave the Oval Office in January 2029 no matter who is duly elected in November 2028
2. Interpret the law limiting presidential terms to two as referring to two consecutive terms, not two terms in the aggregate
3. Run as VP in 2028 under presidential candidate Vance, who then courteously either resigns or declares himself “unable to discharge” his duties, so VP Trump could take the reins under the 25th Amendment
4. Have one of his sons run and win and then rule the country as a kitchen cabinet advisor to Eric or Don
See, chaos and deceit and outlawry are really quite manageable. You just need to have the proper soul for the work.
