Third Term President?

   The GOP is testing the waters with an online poll asking people if they think Barack Obama was a better president, and "if given the choice, would American's (sic) want Obama back" for a third term?
   The poll itself lists only two yes-or-no questions: "Yes - Barack Obama is a great president" or "No - He was a  terrible president and I am happy he is no longer in office."
   Left unsaid in the poll is the Constitutional reality that presidents are limited to two terms. So unless the Constitution is suspended, a third term is not possible.
   But perhaps that's the plan, to suspend the Constitution and enable Donald Trump to remain as president for more than the eight-year limit.
   For many months, he has been "joking" about his ten or twelve years in office, claiming that he does that only to drive journalists bonkers.
   But the new, Republican-sponsored survey, while meaningless on its face, lays the groundwork for a bigger plan to keep Trump in office longer than the Constitutional limit.
   Ironically, Republicans were largely responsible for the Constitutional amendment limiting presidential terms after Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected for a fourth time in 1944. Amendment XXII was passed by Congress March 21, 1947 and ratified February 27, 1951.
   The Constitution now says, "No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice," plus a maximum of two years of an unexpired term if succeeding someone who dies in office or resigns.
   So unless that amendment is eliminated or the Constitution is suspended, Trump cannot serve more than two terms, or a total of eight years. Even if he is re-elected in November of next year, he must leave office on January 20, 2025.
   Assuming he survives the current impeachment kerfuffle, remains in office and is re-elected.
   Unless he somehow manages to suspend the Constitution.
