    He would at most get 2.49999 terms. You have not read the 22nd amendment. You can’t get 3 terms aside from repeatedly being elected as VP and the primary president losing office 4+ times.

        This is a situation that implies he is either impeached , resigned, or dead, so I’m not sure what his interpretation has to do with this conversation

            I do not think any of the 3 that I mentioned are likely. But that is the world view the parent comment assumes, and my comment is just continuing his assumption but showing why his extrapolations are incorrect

      I said “3 terms” because his timespan in office would exceed the expected ~8 year limit of the 2 term cycle. But, before you reply, I do understand your logic, so please don’t.
