Sitting here listening to the daily virus briefing I had a revolting thought. What will life in the USA be like after President Trump is out of office in 2024? Not good I’m thinking. Why just two terms? What’s the deal with the 22nd Amendment? I say it goes against the separation of powers clause in the Constitution because it hobbles the executive branch. Judges serve for life and congress has no similar term limits so why the President? Can an Amendment be unconstitutional? I believe this was rammed through as an overreaction to Roosevelt’s reign but taking the ability away of the electorate to choose their leader is not in our collective best interests. The President hints jokingly that he wants to continue in office but seriously-doesn’t he deserve that right if it weren’t for this bad law? Boy the Congress and other forces sure weakened the Presidency in 1951 when they enacted that Amendment. Sad 😞.

Okay. I feel a little better. Hey especially if Pence chooses DJT as his running mate. The 22nd Amendment doesn’t address this option. Haha 😆.
CS Forrester, nice.
DJTJ would be an awesome candidate for 2024
