Obama. Especially if they go with the "three non consecutive" rule, Obama would be fit lol

If the 22nd Amendment is simply repealed, there would be no limits.

What makes you assume they'll repeal it without introducing some bullsh*t to practically make it repealed for Republicans but de facto still in force for Democrats?

Because the question was "If the 22nd Amendment Is Repealed..."

You're adding stuff. That's a separate issue. Possible, but separate.

@beckyromero Fine, but I think it's a legit argument that if they'll get rid of that they'll immediately create a way to be the only beneficiary of that.

It's like if we were discussing the demolition of a dam and I said "yeah but all that water will flood the village under the dam" and you replied "yeah, but we're only discussing the demolition of the dam, you're adding stuff". Technically you're right, but I think it's absolutely legit discussing the two things together as one.

Well, of course the Trumpets would try something else. They have already introduced legislation (that would spefically bar the three I named who served consecutive terms). But that would be a different question entirely. Otherwise, all the various options muddle up the question.
