Earlier this week, Stephen Bannon was the featured speaker at the 112th New York Young Republican Club gala dinner. When he talked about Donald Trump's third term in 2028, the 1,000+ crowd roared its approval. When he asked if Trump won in 2020, the crowd certainly responded that he did. The fact that Bannon was in a t-shirt and everyone else was either in a tux or an elegant evening gown didn't matter a whit.
Bannon's argument is that the Twenty-Second Amendment bans only more than two consecutive terms, not two total terms. Of course this is just his imagination running wild. In the states where the number of consecutive terms is limited, but the total number of terms is not limited (e.g., Virginia and Florida), the state Constitution is very clear about that. Bannon did not discuss the most likely legal scheme of getting elected speaker of the House and then having the president and vice president resign so Trump would not be elected president more than two times.
Bannon wasn't the only person praising Trump to the moon. So did all the other speakers. The voters are also welcoming back Trump. He closed his campaign with a massive rally at Madison Square Garden and also held huge rallies in the Bronx and on Long Island. He got 30% of the vote in New York City, the best showing for a Republican presidential candidate since George H.W. Bush in 1988. (V)
