minus-squarephotonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 年前That would apply to Obama’s hypothetical third term too, no?
minus-squarejust_another_person@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 年前They’re literally trying to specify “non-consecutive”. Barack already had his two terms do is not eligible. They’re just throwing shit at the wall at this point.
minus-squarephotonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前Oh. I thought since his third wouldn’t be consecutive with his first two, it’d be legal. I guess it depends on how they define consecutive.
minus-squareExtantHuman@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前You don’t include future possibilities in requirements to get to that future possibility. “Hasn’t already served two consecutive terms” doesn’t care if the third would be non-consecutive.
