In reply to the discussion: Reality check: will Donald Trump seek and serve an illegal third term as president? [View all]Mike Nelson
(10,815 posts)... I don't think that's as likely.  He could try to declare war and suspend elections.  He could claim they were not valid and call for the Presidential election to be recalled/rescheduled.  Remain as President for another term... his first thought would be to run as the 2nd term of the 47th President.  I do think the US Constitution is clear - but I don't trust the present Supreme Court.  I believe we've seen wives succeed term-limited or dead spouses.  Probably Nancy Reagan could have done the job, but she was very unpopular.  Despite his health, Reagan could have done well in a third run.  Of course Hillary Clinton could have won a 3rd Clinton term, but that would mean running against Gore.  Obama could nave done well, also, but I don't think Michelle Obama is interested.  Melaina is not eligible, but the kids are- or another "stand-in" could run.  Then, there is the succession and appointment process... he could run as Speaker of the House, or be appointed into office like Gerald Ford.  I don't think laws are a barrier for Crooked Donald, if he wants to remain President.  He's already proven that to be true.
