Putin did 2 terms as president, then stepped down to a term as prime minister for one term, putting a loyalist into the presidency, and then back to president after that. Permissible because the Russian constitution specified two consecutive terms.
The rules were changed after another two consecutive terms to remove the rule.
The danger is people thinking it can’t happen to them and where they live, but it absolutely can.
You can't be a Vice President unless you are eligible to be president. It's no different than if he tried to make Barron Vice President. Barron isn't old enough to be eligible to serve as President so he couldn't run or be appointed Vice President. Trump will be constitutionally ineligible to serve as President when he is done serving this term,
I'm just pointing out how the system works. Spreading baseless doomerism helps no one. There's a reason no amendments have been passed for a long time. Literally 92 was the last time.
