| Nov 19, 2020 at 1:36 | comment | added | prl | @Punintended, Cleveland was president before the 22 amendment was passed, so he isn't relevant to this question. (The premise of the question is wrong, but Cleveland isn't evidence of it.) | |

| Nov 17, 2020 at 0:53 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Even though this is clearly about administration and nothing to do with politics as such, "No person shall be elected… President more than twice…" speaks for itself. Equally, the rest is as open to question as many barn doors. No person who has acted (etc)… seems clearly to mean no Vice President… No (such person) shall be elected to the office of President more than once seems odd. My interpretation is, that clause aims to treat a promoted VP as though elected, counting a subsequent first actual election as a second. Either way, nothing there seems to bar Trump from trying again. | |

| Nov 17, 2020 at 0:28 | comment | added | Amazon Dies In Darkness | Does this answer your question? In the US, can a former president run again? | |
| Nov 16, 2020 at 23:25 | comment | added | Foo Bar | Shouldn't this question's title be reworded? Questions in the negative imply that the negative proposition is assumed true. The positive phrasing is much more neutral in tone. | |
| Nov 16, 2020 at 22:04 | comment | added | President James K. Polk | @jamesqf: Being convicted of any crime, state or federal, presents no constitutional barrier to being elected President, even if he is still in prison when he's elected. He might not be able to vote for himself however. Also, one might argue that upon election the vice president-elect would immediately become president because "...or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President,.." from Article II. | |
| Nov 16, 2020 at 21:57 | comment | added | gormadoc | @PeterMortensen Yes. | |
| Nov 16, 2020 at 20:33 | comment | added | Punintended | Ever heard of Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th president? | |
| Nov 16, 2020 at 18:42 | comment | added | Peter Mortensen | @gormadoc: What or who is "Debs"? Eugene V. Debs (1919)? | |
| Nov 16, 2020 at 17:38 | comment | added | gormadoc | @jamesqf Debs did (though from pen) and still pulled 3.4%. | |
| Nov 16, 2020 at 2:26 | comment | added | Karl Knechtel | The bolded text says "shall be elected... more than once". Why do you expect this to prevent someone from running additional times, as long as they are only elected at most twice? | |

| Nov 15, 2020 at 9:20 | comment | added | Brian Drake | The quoted text places certain limits on how many times a person can be elected President. But it says nothing about whether or not those terms are consecutive. | |
| Nov 15, 2020 at 9:04 | comment | added | ilkkachu | @FettFrank where do you get that it would prohibit non-consecutive terms in particular? If it would apply to Trump (which it doesn't), why would it only apply in 2024 but didn't apply already in 2020? | |
| Nov 15, 2020 at 3:15 | comment | added | jamesqf | There would seem to be another potential problem: even if Trump pardons himself before leaving office, that only applies to Federal crimes. There are a number of state criminal investigations at the moment (e.g. reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-probes-explainer/… ), and there might well be more once he is not shielded by his office. So if these result in convictions, can Trump run for office while occupying a cell in a state prison? | |

There's a big difference between "as" and "for".
