Lame Duck; I Doubt It

 The 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution, which limits the number of times a person can be elected to the office of President to two terms, was ratified through a process that began in Congress and involved the state legislatures.

Proposal by Congress: The amendment was proposed by Congress on March 21, 1947.

Submission to States: It was then submitted to the state legislatures for ratification.

State Ratification: The amendment required the approval of three-fourths of the state legislatures. This process was completed on February 27, 1951, when the requisite 36 of the 48 states at the time ratified the amendment.

Finalization: Once the necessary number of states ratified the amendment, it became part of the Constitution, and its provisions came into force on that date.

Here is what that Amendment says:

"Section 1: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2: This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

Since, as we see, above, it went through all the hoops, it is in the Constitution.

Of the United States.

Of America,

But don't worry.

donnie can fix that little problem to his being in office for life, and then passing in on to - really; you're shitting me - Junior?

But that's what happens when the best is yet to come.

Heard at high decibel.

So, what's my point?

donnie has an easy path to any number of follow-on terms to his second, imminent, one.

The only limit is how long he can live.

And clearing the way is easy.

All somebody needs to do is bring a lawsuit, wherever you bring that sort of lawsuit, that says that in 1947 Congress violated the Constitutionally defined separation of powers.

That violation - read the 22nd Amendment - clearly limits the power of the Executive by denying him unlimited terms of office, clearly implied in the text and original meaning of the Constitution, that implication being obvious by the fact that nothing is written to the contrary, and that Amendment is therefore null and void.

And the Executive who signed it - Harry Truman - is clearly guilty of treason and needs to be exhumed from his grave, hanged, drawn, and quartered.

Good enough for Cromwell, better yet for Truman.

Because, Truman, it should be pointed out, was a radical left wing communist fascist Democrat, so the hanging is long past due.

The drawing and quartering just makes things more "official".

With current supreme court all of that ought to be a slam dunk.
