I'll be on ⁦‪@seanhannity‬⁩ 2nite ⁦‪@FoxNews‬⁩ at 9pm ET and will explain how ⁦‪@realDonaldTrump‬⁩ will be eligible for a 3rd term due to the illegal attempts by Comey, Dems, and media , et al attempting to oust him as ⁦‪@POTUS‬⁩ so that's why I was named to head up the 2024 re-election.”

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of 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 President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Clearly, laws mean nothing now to Republicans (as laws applied to them).

So...anything goes. Third term? Why not, when morphing into a Russian satellite nation is deemed not only okay, but beneficial!

As long as they’re in charge, they demand that everyone has to live in their world.

Huckabee is a joke and nothing he says should be taken seriously.

It's intended to generate a reaction, which it seems to have done. It should be ignored. If that's not an option, it should be roundly mocked.
