Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution was an addition to the United States Constitution that put a limit on how many times a person could be elected to be President. A person is limited to being elected twice - or once if they've already served more than two years as President. Congress passed the amendment on March 21, 1947. It was ratified on February 27, 1951.
The President of the United States is elected to have that position for a period, or "term", that lasts for four years. The Constitution had no limit on how many times a person could be elected as president. The nation’s first president, George Washington chose not to try to be elected for a third term. This suggested that two terms were enough for any president. Washington’s two-term limit became the unwritten rule for all Presidents until 1940.
In 1940, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt won a third term. He also won a fourth term in 1944. Roosevelt was president through the Great Depression of the 1930's and almost all of World War II. He held approval ratings in the mid-50% to the low 60% ranges over his many years in office. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage in April of 1945, just months after the start of his fourth term. Soon after, Republicans in Congress began the work of creating Amendment XXII. Roosevelt was the first and only President to serve more than two consecutive terms.
The amendment was passed by Congress in 1947, and was ratified by the states on February 27, 1951. The Twenty-Second Amendment says a person can only be elected to be president two times for a total of eight years. It does make it possible for a person to serve up to ten years as president. This can happen if a person (most likely the Vice-President) takes over for a president who can no longer serve their term. If this person serves two years or less of the preceding President’s term, he or she may serve for two more four-year terms. If he or she served more than two years of the last President's term, the new President can serve only one full four-year term. Under the language of the amendment, the President at the time of its ratification (Harry Truman) was exempt from the two-term limitation. Truman served nearly all of Roosevelt's unexpired fourth term and then was elected President once, serving his own four year term.
So it's not the constitution if it's an amendment to the constitution? Got damn, and I am the ignorant one? You smell like tech. -

There are the articles and the amendments. Together they from the constitution. There is no "original" constitution. It is not the bible with a new testament and an old testament where you get to follow the book you like. -

I think in this case we can have the SCOTUS waive the 22nd Amendment in this special circumstance and Donald Trump gets a free third term for all the meddling and interference he's had to battle. -

When you "die", you compose and go back to the ground, but you're not really gone. The lucky part for you is you've already entered the time stream. At that point, there's no getting rid of you. Because time is fluid, the past, the present, and the future are all really one thing, and you're still there in that. All it takes is a manipulation of time and you can be easily brought back at any time. Even several of you, from different times in your life. When you die, sure, your body breaks down and you disappear into the soil, but there are many other yous still in the timeline. Fully intact. As real as you or I right now. -

While I agree with parts of your opinion none of that is fact except the part about decomposition of the body. -

I've done the full homework. Every word I said is true. The mechanics of the fabric of reality is far more advanced and superior than one could ever imagine. That's why man was originally designed to live forever, because there is no end to the knowledge which can be observed in the multi-universe, clockwork-precise, fabulous machine that we exist within. -

Even though I agree with your opinion I'll need more than your say before I consider it fact. -
2020-02-01 at 5:45 PM UTCIf you were never born, you wouldn't exist in the timestream at all, therefore there's nothing to restore. But once you're born, that's it. Only the Creator himself can destroy you permanently. That's how the resurrection will happen. Everyone who ever lived and died who was good, or didn't have an accurate understanding, will come back. It's child's-play for the Creator to manipulate time and space and matter. So, when you die, you're not really gone. Not yet. If your loved one was good, or didn't get a full understanding - not enough knowledge available for them to make a conscious decision to serve good, they'll be coming back. Just like on the day that was the prime of their life. In full living color. Real as you or I. In fact, it's not just a clever copy, it's actually them. The original.
