OK, the Constitution states you can only run twice for POTUS. But what if State Legislators appoint Trump because of all the fraud?

Trump being selected by the states legislators it "may" be possible he can run for a 3rd term. If it comes down to the one Rep (or was that two?) from each state making a selection that it may be possible.

Hey, it's a loophole that will drive libs nuts to consider the possibility.

Actually, its even better than that.

QuoteNo person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,

. So the million dollar question, do the state legislators appoint or elect Trump if it would come to that? I vote for appoint.

What does it say about Vice Presidents?

Can you imagine if Trump was Vice President for a while?

Trump can be vice president as many times as he wants to as far as I understand. From what I understand after Trump serves 2 terms as president if Pence were to run for president with Trump as his vice president and get elected Trump would be president for a third term. That being said if Biden is president and then drops out after 2 yearsxand 1 day Harris would be able to run for 2 more times for president since she wouldn't be the elected president her first term.

Must have the same qualifications to run for vp as for president. Natural citizen, over 35, etc. so if having served two terms as president would disqualify Trump from running for president again, i read it as he could not run for vp. But, we need a lawyer to answer this one.

You don't run for vp. I was listening to this being discussed as a loophole. There is no term limits on the vp unless the vp becomes president in a term where the president has more than 2 years left in the term. I don't know if it has been tried and challenged at any point.

Yep, and that's the million dollar question, and I think SCOTUS would probably not interfere if Trump was appointed because we all know his first term was wrought with Marxist interference.
So a third term is plausible.

Since the 12th amendment,

QuoteTo be Constitutionally eligible to serve as the nation's vice president, a person must, according to the Twelfth Amendment, meet the eligibility requirements to become president (which are stated in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5). Thus, to serve as vice president, an individual must:

    be a natural-born U.S. citizen;
    be at least 35 years old;
    be a resident in the U.S. for at least 14 years.[60]

QuoteUnder the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution, "...no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States."[62]

I have been reading posts on this forum from Oct. 2016, just prior to the election. It was interesting to see what many of you thought of then, candidate Trump. I do not blame anyone for not seeing into the future. The facinating thing is how President Trump changed many people's attitudes towards him. Some of you who were very down on him then are now his most ardent supporters. That really says a lot about his abilities.

Interesting observation, and Yep, for us Conservatives to back him speaks volumes to his credibility. For decades our biggest complaint was the budget, the GOP would select more RINO to run for office and we'd get pissed.
So when TEA entered the scene in 2010 we saw a chance to steal the GOP and make it not only fiscally responsible, but force it to follow the constitution as written, something neither party had ever done.

And we made serious headway into purging the scum from the party over the next several years.

Enter Cruz, a Constitutional scholar, a man who knew what we wanted and we thought we finally had our Conservative.
Fast forward, Trump comes in, sways a majority of the base, but we wanted an actual Conservative, not lip service, not someone who used to be a Dim, so many of us refused to support him.

Funny thing happened along the way once he was elected, he exposed an evil within our govt most had no idea existed and as pervasive as it was, me included.
We thought all we needed to do was run out the RINO and the rest would fall in place...

Suddenly our value of a balanced budget paled in comparison, we had an even bigger enemy that needed to be slayed Communism.
Now Conservatives were faced with spending far more to save this Nation than we had ever imagined. As much as it hurts, it will cost trillions to Right this great ship, one a majority of Conservatives are willing to do.

So instead of a Statesman, we got a True patriot, one willing to fight the Marxist left and kill it wherever it hides. Yes, Trump is our best and only chance to save this great Republic and we, the Base won't let him down...

I could not say it better. 

Amazing how many of us were not "Trumpers" but quickly changed our views when we saw what Trump was doing.

Thanks.
Taxed and I were on the phone nearly everyday leading up to the election and when Trump won, we said we'll give him 6 months.
We both figured if he could keep promises and work for us for 6 months, that would be more than any RINO POTUS prior...

Month after month went by, still holding, we hit the 6 month mark and we agreed, Trump was the real thing, he was not going back on his promises.
Here we are entering his 2nd term and the man not only kept his promises, his resolve is a 10 thousand times what this country thought it could expect.

Nah, Trump may not be a Conservative, but we got a Patriot, 1000 times better.

I was on board the Trump Train from the very start.  In fact, I was run out of a conservative forum by the Cruzbots.  Now, they acknowledge that I was right, but I have no desire to socialize with folks who turn on you because you support a different candidate.  Thus, my presence here. 
I only hope  the Supremes are truly allegiant to the Constitution, and that Rudy can articulate the charges, quickly and completely.
