Well if the heritage Foundation is going to follow the book of revelation, he needs to be there for 7.5 years.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It obviously won't get close to passing but it would be incredible for Democrats if it did. He has zero margin in the House, nothing major is passing into law except tax cuts. All his executive order policies are inflationary.
So either he's crashing the economy, taking the blame for continued inflation, or getting nothing of consequence done. And he'd be 83 and asking for four more years. He'd get crushed.
He will use Musk's money, again, to cheat, again, in my opinion.

Seems more like someone sucking up to Trump rather than something they realistically believe they could get passed

That will never happen, legally, anyway.
However
22nd amendment says:
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. ...
So what they are gonna do is that:
They are gonna argue that presidents are not "elected" but appointed by the Electoral College, therefore the 22nd amendment doesn't apply and hereby null and void.
Or just use elect VP + accension to presidency loophole, and run a dead person as President, then trump as VP, since the placeholder name they put for president isn't alive, VP become president.
Or just cast placeholder names for presidency and VP, and use the Speaker role as acting president.
There are so many loopholes that doesn't require repealing 22nd amendment.
I mean, it’s gonna. Every worst case thing is happening all over the place. The constitution is only as good as the people upholding it.
Sorry if I have no faith in the US democracy and law system after a literal felon who staged a coup got re elected, had his bestie pull a bunch of nazi salutes while he was busy pardoning literal violent criminals who did the coup, made everyone a woman AND started a system of snitching on your neighbor to get them removed for noncrimes.
And lets not forget people enforcing the law are now his cronies.

But, but, I thought he didn't need this because he has never served two CONSECUTIVE terms! /s
Bold to assume he would even be elected again after 4 years of fucking it up. He wasn’t last time.

Knowing Trump, I wouldn't be surprised if he went full Nayib Bukele and sent in troops to influence the vote.
And as much as I like Bukele, he presided over unique circumstances where his country was effectively being ruled by MS-13 and his actions were warranted in the case of being elected leader of a country ruled by drug overlords. The USA is going through no such crisis.
Pretty fucking gross if you ask me.
