Remember Bannon saying a 3rd Trump term was guaranteed, and we could suck on it? That was AWESOME.

I guess America's scab-infested, unwashed, unkempt drunk uncle will have to find something else that he wants us to suck on.

I forgot who suggested it...and I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment...but one Republican member of Congress suggested introducing a bill that would override the Constitution and allow a president to run for "THREE NON-CONSECUTIVE TERMS," which would automatically disqualify Obama. Then again, Trump would have to admit losing in 2020, so what were the chances of THAT?

he would have to sit out 2028 and wait for 2032(??). Doesn't seem terribly practical...

It went nowhere so it's irrelevant now, I guess. But the first thing the Republicans pounced on was "We can't let Obama run against him."

And no, Trumpers are not going to be able to ignore the Constitution.
