This “loophole” wouldn’t work. There are plenty of people in the line of succession that are ineligible to be President either due to being too young or being foreign-born. First, if it gets to the point where one of them would even become President, we have much bigger problems to worry about. Second, those people that would be ineligible would simply be skipped over for the next person in line who’s actually eligible.
Sure, they could use the same backwards logic and hand-waving of Constitutional amendments that they’ve been using all along, but at that point they might as well just make an exception for the 22nd amendment and call it a day. If they’re just planning to hand-wave away the rules anyway, why go through all those extra steps when just saying that the 22nd amendment is unenforceable would be quicker, easier, and accomplish the same thing?
He just won’t leave, like Maduro in Venezuela. Who’s going to kick him out? Nobody kicked Maduro out, and HitlerPig’s betting that nobody will kick him out either.
If he tries it, there should be a death sentence on everyone in his administration. It might be hard to hit him, but when his staff and cabinet start dying in the streets while picking their dry cleaning or exiting a restaurant, they’ll all leave town toot sweet.
I realize I’m playing advocate for a devil that needs no help, and I hope you’re right. Simply saying there are arguments taking place that seperate the requirements of “being elected” as defined in the 22nd vs “being eligible” as defined by article 2.
As it’s been explained to me, this interpretation would of course be challenged, and ultimately determined by our wonderful supreme court.
It’s a stupid loophole and hard to coordinate. The simple solution is for trump so send jd Vance, or whoever Trump figures can win and gets added on as VP, then he’d spend forever saying how the people wanted him back so badly. The President will step down and Trump again
He can’t run as VP because he is ineligible to be President. VP is the only position in the line of succession that can’t be skipped. Anyone chosen as VP must also be eligible to be President.
The easiest way for them to do it is to go the “Casino” route. Put in some sock puppet as President and have Trump be the “senior advisor” that’s calling the shots behind the scenes. Kinda like they’re doing now with Musk.

I’ve seen this loophole and it ends up with Jack Bauer being president.
