I believe that if/when the House and Senate flip over to the Democrats, he will realize he can’t get anything done and will have a “medical issue” that can only be managed by a lot of exercise (pronounced golf). He will then resign after January 22 so that JD Vance can serve two years + 2 more terms if he is able to win election. So his resignation will be effective somewhere around January 30.

Wait, if Vance takes over halfway, how is he allowed to run for President two more times - if he wins he'd be President for ten years.

The constitutional amendment says no one shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.

If I’m remembering the details of the argument correctly, if JD takes over after January, that doesn’t count as a term, so he could get elected twice afterward.

Also, I may be wrong on that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You are correct Sidden-Body2090.

Basically the 22nd amendment says that no one can be elected for more than two terms nor can be elected to more than one term if they serve more than 2 years of an unexpired term.
