    No worries, once these structures are established, there’ll be someone to step into the footprints. Being it Musk, Trump Jr. or some other tyrant.

        Based on current legislation, sure. But that’s not set in stone. Russia also had a term limit for its president. Until Putin decided otherwise. Remember, this will be ‘the last election’. Maybe Trump just announces the next king once he decides to go.

        SCOTUS will make sure that doesn’t apply.

        If not one of the Trump children, I wonder who Musk’s running mate will be.

          Yes, mainly because the way it was originally designed to work is that all the candidates would run for President and the one who got the second-most votes would become VP (LOL).

          Not sure about loopholes further down the line of succession, though. It’s supposed to skip over people who aren’t eligible, but what if nobody is eligible?
