What would you rate Donald Trump's actual chances of getting more than two full terms as U.S. president? (lemmy.world)

I mean in terms of percentages.

And I don't necessarily mean three full terms. 2.5 terms or 2.1 terms or anything nontrivially more than 2 (like, 10 minutes more doesn't count) would qualify.

None of that is by the book. There's no mechanism that lets the president stay in power by "tying things up in court". Any attempt to do what you describe is just a coup.

And there's zero chance that amendment gets passed. We can barely get a simple 50% majority for the budget passed.

Sir I’m saying doing it properly through changing the amendment is by the books and NOT what they’ll do. They’ll do a coup again.
