Can a two-term US president secure a third term by running as Vice President?

- keernan 1y agoFrom a constitutional perspective, I find a different question much more interesting: What method does the Constitution provide to handle a situation when a sitting President, with the support of the DOJ and FBI, refuses to leave after his term has expired? Or a sitting President who is impeached by the House and Convicted by the Senate, but who, with the full backing of the DOJ and FBI, refuses to step aside?
