No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

That's how Putin did it; probably the guy guiding all of this.
They have term limits over there in Russia as well, but they have interpreted it as "only allowed X years in a row"...so Putin installs a crony for 1 session every X years, and then magically wins the votes by a landslide every other time.
That's what they'll end up doing. They'll 'interpret' it as consecutive terms, and we'll get 8 years of Trump, then 4 of Vance, then 8 of Trump, etc.
Your scenario implies Trump lives to 98, and unless the preservatives in big macs are the key to longevity, I doubt he makes it that long.
Yeah, I keep actually forgetting how fucking OLD that guy is...yeesh.

We're talking about Donald Trump here... you could replace him with an animatronic muppet and the only thing people would notice is that he looked healthier and didn't smell as bad.
I don't think we have the technology to mimic turnip's lips 👄 other than that, 100%
Russian Constitution literally had this phrase "A same person cannot be a President for more than two terms in a row", so it was already opened for an interpretation they did. This actually had changed for just "two terms" in 2020, but provided another excuse for Putin to be elected.
Anyhow, in US Constitution the 22nd amendment says that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice", so there is no room for interpretation. Even conservative SCOTUS would not do that.
They'd write off Trump by then anyway. They'd hand the reigns to Vance, and go FULL project 2025 while keeping the Magats allegiance to Vance, while extending HIS term limits.
Not that my scenario is any better.
Who are "they"? Child trafficking democrats? Oh, sorry, it was from another conspiracy theory.
No offense, I just think that the idea of some masterminds ruling everything from behind the curtains is a bit ridiculous.
No, you're right. It's essentially the same as "God's will".
A mysterious power you can't see or prove that manipulated everything you don't understand.
It's a really easy rut to fall into.
Run for VP with crony as pres. crony resigns. Wasn't elected as President. Loophole!
Yeah, this scenario seems... feasible. I've read people were contemplating Obama to run for Kamala's VP before Waltz was chosen. And this attempt would certainly end up in Supreme Court.
Well then they will have to slightly extend the term (until death do them part)
