Eh, that they said "elected" and not "eligible" in the 22nd amendment makes me think there is plenty of room for lawyering on this point.

- mariodiana 11y agoPlease see the Twelfth Amendment, particularly the last sentence.
- Redoubts 11y agoAnd? Edit: There are a couple ways to become president, and only one of them is through an election. Article 2 talks about "eligibility", but says nothing on term limits. Amendment XII only says "eligible" again. Amendment XXII brings up term limits, but only says "elected", never "eligible". There's a "but obviously..." reply to be made, but I see plenty of opportunity to play word games here.
