It is possible that Trump may try to run as VP (similar to what Putin did back in the day.

From Claude:

Ineligible-for-President people are not allowed to run as VP.

Speaker, though…

CAN I! CAN I?
I would really like to be speaker. I’d also like a pony, if that’s not asking too much.

Didn’t we already have Republicans presenting something about how Trump didn’t serve 2 consecutive terms, thus he’s still eligible to run for another?

I can’t keep track. The tramplings of the Constitution are so frequent I sometimes forget which lines have and haven’t been crossed. If Trump is alive and the President come 2028, then even if he were in prison, I’d expect him to try to run again.

Yeah, but the presidential succession act makes it so an ineligible person is not in the succession line. So Trump (or Obama) could be speaker of the house, but they’d not be in succession.

Madeleine Albright was not in the succession line when she was Secretary of State due to not being a natural born citizen.

The argument is that the 22nd amendment specifies that you can’t be elected to a 3rd time, but doesn’t say that you can’t serve a 3rd term. And draft language apparently said serve, so the language was deliberately changed to elected.

We can’t boycott imports of Girl Guide cookies though as they are already made in Ontario.

Germany is guilty of human rights issues because they are putting restrictions on an openly neo-Nazi party that is being shunned even by the far right parties in France and Italy. But El Salvador is now less of a human rights violator.

Now days, I have to check the source just to make sure it isn’t The Onion.

But, in addition to CNN, I found this video on Fox: Oklahoma creates 'America First' test for teachers with PragerU | Fox News

The test will be available “next week”, not sure if that means the 18th or the 25th.

Either way, teachers have contracts signed and apartments rented or houses bought.

I’d like to see the PragerU “test”. It seems that they would want to publish it to discourage woke teachers from even applying to Oklahoma schools.

Walters says that OK has a $50,000 signing bonus for teachers “in the top 10% of teachers in the country”. I should try to find out what that means.

Edit: so I Googled a little. I found multiple articles about signing bonuses. They target certain specialties or rural schools. But, I couldn’t find any references to “top 10%”.

If they stormed the Capitol or bought enough Melania coin, they are definitely in the top 10%.

For some reason, I’m having this vision that 30yrs from now, Okies will be using Gatorade to water their farms. Is that weird?

Water? Like from the toilet?
