The executive branch is currently ignoring the law. Why would they start following it in 2029?

He's already floating the idea of a third term, and the house is considering a constitutional amendment that would allow it.

Of course, that'll be a moot point if he continues to just ignore the constitution as he has been so far this entire term, and the other two branches continue to just let him.

Do you understand how long and what it takes to ratify an amendment? There a reason why we haven’t done one in 33 years and that one took 202 years. The process is designed to be difficult, it’s much more than a simple majority and bang of a gavel.

We are still working on approving the equal rights amendment. That’s one that started 102 years ago, and we have been trying to get the 3/4 state’s agreement for it for only 53 years.

So no, I seriously doubt with a 50/50 divided electorate in this country that we will repeal the 22nd amendment in the less than 4 years that the US would have to do it before Trump could run again.

The executive branch from 2021 through 2024 ignored some laws too. That’s what executive branches do…”selective enforcement”.
