Here's the text of the 22nd Amendment, even the absolutely irrelevant parts. It says nothing about if the terms are consecutive or not.
Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.

Can anyone tell me what Trump, the blue collar worker president, has done for the working class slob? I’m a sophisticated east coast college educated elitist in Utah, so I don’t speak Trumpish. But it seems like aside from running his ***, pardoning a whole bunch of criminal animals, and issuing out some lame *** executive order seeking vengeance on his personal enemies, has hasn’t done jack **** for the forgotten man. Can someone please point out what this modern day Gandhi has done for his people? I’m waiting. I really want him to lower prices for homes so I can buy another few homes and price out the working class slobs. That will trigger some people. After all, I could really benefit from some vacation homes.

To be fair, I haven't been raped or murdered by an illegal immigrant recently released from an insane asylum while on my way to the store to buy bread. Not even once. And my dog and neither of my cats have been eaten by immigrants either.
Thanks trump

This will definitely help the working class slob. They should just take ivermectin and stick flashlights up their asses to cure cancer. We don’t need none of that stickin science stuff in America these days

Wait I was reassured many times on this very website that Trump had nothing to do with project 2025. Did he lie?

Well, in trumps defense, his lips were moving when he denied his ties to project 2025 so it's not really his fault he was lying. It's the moving of his lips that's to blame for the lying. Not trump though.

This is to finally address the reproducibility crisis that everyone has known about and no one has fixed. Trump's nominee to head the NIH, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, had vowed to tackle this issue head on.

NAS Welcomes Nomination of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to Lead NIH by National Association of Scholars | NAS

www.nas.org www.nas.org

"We believe he will provide strong, reforming leadership for the NIH—which is in strong need of reform. NIH, like the other federal agencies whose powers are informed by scientific research, does not operate according to the best scientific principles of transparency and reproducibility. We strongly urge Dr. Bhattacharya to make a priority of bringing best scientific practices to the NIH. ... NAS has documented precisely how the irreproducibility crisis has distorted government policy"

This issue is not a right wing conspiracy.

‘An Existential Crisis’ for Science: Institute for Policy Research - Northwestern University

In its most basic sense, the replication crisis refers to a pattern of scientists being unable to obtain the same results previous investigators found. At its most expansive, the crisis threatens the scientific enterprise itself, leading to questions not just about research practices and...

1,500 scientists lift the lid on reproducibility - Nature

Survey sheds light on the ‘crisis’ rocking research.
www.nature.com www.nature.com

The research coming from these NIH grants has been worthless. We've been paying out billions and getting back useless garbage. Scientists are generating papers, but when the results are double checked by another team, nothing matches. The science has either been faked or done so poorly as to be a waste of time. Taking a pause to weed out the criminals and incompetents gaming the system will do nothing to delay a cure for cancer. If anything, it will speed it up as researchers will know they are building on good science, not some grant scam.

Negotiated a ceasefire in Gaza and got hostages released. Reduced the institutional racism in the Federal government. Rounded up and deported 308 illegal aliens who had committed rape, child molestation, and/or felony assault. Shifted the political climate so significantly that even Democrats voted in favor of the Laken Riley Act. Presented an ultimatum to Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Put the Houthi back on the terror list. There is a shocking number of positive actions that have happened in only one week.

Yeah I checked. It's baked into the constitution. It would need a full-on amendment to change and that's actually what they submitted. But then it would take ratification by the states and I think that requires a 2/3 majority or something. It'll never happen.


Edit: I should have kept reading this all got answered above.

Funner fact, never happened to anyone else either. At all.

It's almost as if the person that Bernie was speaking to is completely unable to say the words yes or no.

But I mean the first question was so insane that's it's hard to fathom that any president would even think of doing. Of course, trump is that president that will do it.

The richest in our country are richer than ever before. The income gap is wider than ever before. So of course trump wants to take money from a program that helps the poor and use that money to pay for tax cuts for the richest in our society. That is insane and shouldn't be allowed yet I'm almost certain that it's going to happen. Smh
 
Haven’t heard any complaints from MAGA World. Since MAGA is strongly anti-science, I wouldn’t expect much, if any. Taking decisions regarding science out of the hands of science. RFK Jr. must be salivating at the thought of being installed at HHS….
