There's a whole Amendment about this.[1]

- Supermancho 2y agoOne inferred point of the article is that eroding the first amendment makes the rest less imposing to circumvent.
- mullingitover 2y agoI think it's the other way around: giving an insurrectionist the most powerful office in the land, a violation of the 14th, is a recipe for wanton malfeasance in office. All the other violations were made possible by that first one.
- mptest 2y agoTrue, famously, this administration is strictly bound by laws. Don't worry guys, we're safe.
- gcanyon 2y agoThey're already pitching the idea that the 22nd amendment only prevents someone who had two consecutive terms from running again. Looking at the language of the amendment, I have no idea how they can justify that. But stranger things have happened recently. :-/
