7. The 22nd Amendment is SPECIFIC, Donnie!
Wed Oct 29, 2025, 10:29 AM
Wednesday

It reads.......NO person shall be elected to the Office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of the President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

This is the opening of the 22nd Amendment states that Donald Trump is only allowed to serve 2- 4 year terms. Period, stop! He cannot run again in 2028, if he is still alive and the country as we know it is still viable.

The 22nd Amendment was ratified due to the 4 terms FDR was elected to. It was an extraordinary time when the United States was embroiled in a Great Depression and the onset of WWII. FDR was one of those rare leaders who knew how to lead.

The ONLY exception to the 22nd Amendment was in August of 1974 when then VP Gerald Ford assumed the office of the President after Richard Nixon resigned mid term. Ford ran for a full term in 1976 and was defeated by Jimmy Carter.
