Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon says Trump is "gonna get" an unconstitutional 3rd term and that there's a "plan" to make it happen. "We have to finish what we started," Bannon said, adding that Trump "is an instrument of divine will."

    If Trump even survives this term, can you imagine what would happen if states put him on the ballot despite the constitutional prohibitions on a 3rd term and he won the electoral college and the popular vote?

    I hate how not-unrealistic that all sounds.

    It’s just as likely that someone else will run, name Trump VP, and then resign from the presidency on day 1 or 2 or something, making Trump the president again.

      You can’t run for VP after having been president for two terms, either. It’s a legacy from back when VP wasn’t a “running mate” and instead just got awarded to the presidential candidate who got the second-most EC votes.
