"Arguing, College, and Joe Biden: let's get it popping. Biden/Obama  2020  yeah yeah i know @WeCloutChase  The 22nd amendment would allow Joe Biden  to run as President and Barrack Obama as  his VP.  Just saying.  Show this thread  600 terrapinfox:  libertarirynn: hst3000:  libertarirynn:  The constitutionality of this would likely be questioned by the electoral college but it miiiight get through depending on how strictly they interpret the 22nd amendment, since Obama would not technically be being ""elected"" to the office of president, which is the explicit provisional language in the amendment (Not that somebody couldn't theoretically hold the office more than twice, but that they could not be elected to it twice).  All that said it would be a shitshow but mighty entertaining.  12th amendment, guys:  No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall  be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.  Obama is an unconstitutional selection.   Not exactly: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/08/06/could-joe-biden-pick-barack-obama-as-his-running-mate-yes-but/?utm_term=.dc9a5700ef57  i read that article and it still doesn't seem possible given ""No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.""and at first i thought this'd be a good way to secure trump his second term, but… judging by the sheer amount of lunatics in usa atm, a kinda technicality shadow president could have a chance, which would be terrifying and dangerous tbh.  The article lose things out pretty clearly, and I summarize it in the OP: the exact wording of the 22nd amendment says that a person cannot be ELECTED more than twice to the office of president. It does not prohibit someone becoming president through a line of succession, Having not been directly elected to the office. A former president would not be constitutionally ineligible based on those parameters.It's a loophole in the wording but the law is literally build on loopholes. A constitutional lawyer could and would argue this if they tried to make it happen. Now this article also points out they almost certainly wouldn't try to make it happen because of the backlash and lack of likelihood that the electoral college would approve such a ticket. But it is theoretically possible."
