im 100% canadian, I dont live in the US and wondering about your system.

so as i understand your political system, a president can only hold office 2 terms. in Trumps case, he served once already, does that mean he can only serve one more, or is the clock reset and he gets a shot at 8 years?

    It would take a HUUUUGE leap of logic

    US Fifth Circuit of Appeals and Supreme Courts: “Hold My Beer”

    For example, if Trump’s Republican Congress gets rid of elections, then this Amendment doesn’t matter.

      They probably won’t get rid of elections… they’ll just have sham elections like Russia has to give the impression of “legitimacy” but I guarantee they’ll be heavily rigged in their favor.
