Well technically or legally as it stands right now he can't stay president. That said, Ingersoll Lockwood, the author that wrote the Baron Trump novels in 1898 also wrote another book in 1896 (corrected). It's titled '1900 or the Last President'. In that book the presidential candidate owned and lived in a large building in New York City.
I'm not saying it will happen, only that a book was written about the last president. Course FDR served 4 terms before the 22nd Amendment was passed and ratified. Should that amendment be repealed things could change. lol
Personally I don't think we need a federal government. For every argument anyone can give me in favor of a central government I can make just as strong an argument for the States taking care of those duties, cheaper and more efficiently. The Founding Fathers called central Government a "necessary evil". I would argue that no evil is ever "necessary" and I would base my argument on Scripture.
We need a Federal Government but only a very limited one. Unless it is SPELLED OUT in the constitution the state or the people do it not the Federal Government.
Get rid of income tax cut the Federal Government by about 95%. Would be a really good start
I don’t know if we NEED one, but I like that I can travel from state to state at will without obstruction. I like how hard it is to amend the Constitution with a nation this large. I like that nobody dares invade any of the several states because they know they would be met with the force and wrath of all fifty. But I think it should be an option for states to secede if a referendum gets like 3/4 majority of voters within that state. I feel like it should be much harder to create and change tax codes (I feel like 75% of congress should be needed for that rather than a simple majority, or a 65-70% majority on a public referendum so the voters could decide so we would only have ourselves to blame for how much comes out of our paychecks). I think we should raise the voting age to 25 so colleges couldn’t wield so much political power via their highly impressionable and professionally inexperienced students. I don’t know. There’s a lot of things I think we could do better.
The constitution is all about the LIMITS of the federal Government. We do not need a Federal Government that is bigger than any of the states.
We need a supreme court, and a few other things. We do not need an FBI, CIA, NEA, or any of those other 3 letter agencies.
We do not need a Washington DC.
We just need a Federal Government that is bound by the constitution. Like I said if the constitution does not say directly that something is a Federal Government responsibility then it is automaticity NOT constitutional if the Federal Government is involved.
Well, it's easier to instill communism at a federal level. The states cant do that as well as the fed.
For a central federal government, it is also easier to implement mass surveillance of the population, as well as secret police. Much harder to do at the state level. 😎
If the people woke up and understood what their rights and authorities are, things would change rather quickly. There's a gentleman, G.R. Mobley, who is doing his best to educate and mobilize people for a PEACEFUL take-back of our Republic. Give this ~7 minute video a look....this is where it started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fstc1d1m5Tw His process is called Republic Review and he's already working with legislators in Wyoming, Virginia, South Dakota and Missouri (I think).
OK but Crimea was Russian from the get-go, it's always been Russian, it will always be Russian, the population is 90% Russian, they've always used rubles and followed Moscow rather than Kiev, they speak Russian rather than Ukrainian, let it go. It's gone. Gone back home to Russia.
I'm pretty sure our Founding Fathers would be against such a thing. If they had wanted us to have a monarch or a dictator, they would have given us a Constitution that included such a thing. But they gave us a republic where we can vote for who we want.
This is probably the most un-American post I've seen on this site.
We do want to follow the Constitution, so as far as president forever, that won't happen, but it would be nice if he would hang around like Obama and keep making comments about how good or bad the next president is or isn't.
I’d be ok with making Presidential terms 3 years each and make 3 terms possible. Limit the damage a shit President can do but don’t make the country lose out on a great President so quickly when they finally get one they really like.
Or maybe two four year terms and if they win a third, give them an extra two or something.
We need to take it one step further. Vladimir Putin did nothing wrong! Realistically though he has his fair share of bad decisions but on the big ones like these he was 100% in the right.

Here's a PDF if you'd like to read it: https://www.ingersolllockwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/1900-Or-The-Last-President.pdf
Am I reading this right?
He wrote another book eighty-eight years later?
Edit for context: He originally said 1986. He's fixed it. But this is such a strange timeline that I just had to be sure.
Yeah you are reading it right. Problem is I didn't type it right. Should be 1896. lol
Ah, the old Dick Clark misread.
*1896, not 1986.
Lockwood only lived until 1918.

I think he might like to stay POTUS, although at his age I wouldn't.

No. No more tyrants and definitely not lifetime Presidents. Wed end up in a tyranny worse then the one we have now.

I mean…I kinda want Putin to do whatever he wants at this point. But I get the political angle Trump is playing.
His TS is lit AF tonight
