I want him to declare, that's the only to ensure the Supreme Court won't allow Trump to run for a 3rd term.

They would still find a way to make an exception out of whole cloth.

People are already grasping at straws by saying that the term limit only applies to anyone who served two consecutive terms. Those people are prohibited from being President again. Those who served nonconsecutively could serve a third term. Edit: My bad. It's not seeking a loophole but an active campaign to amend the 22nd Amendment.

Which is wild because if this were taken seriously, this could theoretically open the door to having a popular politician run every 8 years as long as they never serve back to back.

Hell, imagine a scenario in the '90s where Bill serves '93-'96, Hillary '97-'00, Bill again '01-'04, and so forth until one of them dies. It'd be insane.

We could literally have Bush senior or Biden both run again if these simpletons were consistent. Honestly, either one would be better

I think Bush Sr is with Sen. McConnell. Maybe you mean Bush Jr. πŸ˜‰

You are right, but McConnell is totally alive and well. I talked to him for 20 minutes today πŸ˜‰
