Michelle?

Barack

Barack can’t be Veep. The constitution clearly states he can’t be President again and they can’t put him in the position that might make that possible.

Does it not say consecutively?
I was half listening to a podcast this week talking about this and they said it’s Consecutively but outside that it’s murky And doesn’t specify

He wouldn’t do that anyways he’s not that kinda guy



***never mind I just caught up

Am I the only one here who does not pine for Obama?

I certainly don’t. I’m just looking for someone who can be as close to a guaranteed win over Trump as possible.

I was ready to move on 4 years ago. But what do I know.

"Again we bump into some problems of literalness, though, because some would argue that a person who has already run up against the limits of the 22nd Amendment isn’t “constitutionally ineligible” to be President (i.e., that person doesn’t fail to meet one or more of the requirements specified in Article II of the constitution, such as being at least 35 years old or a natural-born citizen of the United States) but is merely constitutionally ineligible to be elected President. Under this interpretation, a former two-term President would still be eligible, under the law, to obtain and hold the office of Vice President through election or appointment to that position.

I see you read the same Snopes article I did.

Yeah that's the best summary I could find. My friend is a constitutional lawyer in Washington and when I asked him about it he gave me an explanation I couldn't understand

Biden / Novoselic 2020

I don’t either. And it would be great. Imagine how Trump would feel if a ticket with an Obama beat him.

Wait, Biden isn't black?

it's official

Great, hopefully he doesn't fuck it up like Hillary.

He would have to change his name to Hillary Clinton.

do you guys like Biden or at this point is whoever instead of Trump?

I felt Sanders was the real change USA needs.

I'll hold my nose to vote out Trump. The democrats are going to have to do a lot better in 2024,though. This is a one time thing to get rid of the maniac in chief.

My main fear is that Biden wins, Trump gets to be opposition, which a easier role for him and one he can do it very well, and comes back after 4 years of nothing from biden.

Because if you guys want Trump out, he really needs to step out. And i dont see Biden doing that.

I can’t see Trump giving politics a second glance once he’s not president.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain that he never really wanted to be president and will relish the opportunity to get out of the white house. He'll make a big stink about it and play the victim, but I doubt he's going to run again.

Trump doesn't come back. His post-Presidency is going to be a few years of him hiding out in Mar-a-Lago, leaving increasingly infrequently. He'll continue to tweet, but it will stop being covered as widely. He'll be a pathetic and ignored man when he dies in a few years. His family will decide to have a small funeral

Isn't he launching a news app or something? Unfortunately I think he's going to continue to wield considerable influence over his horde of idiot supporters.
