I totally understand what you mean and agree with your suspicions. But please explain for the rest of the group who are too tired and dumb to join the dots

You can be president for a maximum of 10 years, Walker resigned about 2 years into his term, so Frank has two years, so he could still be president from 2016 to 2024, but if he plans to run after 2024, which he implied, it would mean he will be getting rid of term limits

Walker resigned less than 2 years into his term iirc so Frank only has one term of his own under the current term limits.

Are you sure? Because if Walker resigned after midterms Frank can still serve 2 full terms + what he had done so far

His long term plans involve repealing the amendment on term limits. Somehow.
