   At the end of his second term in office, President Obama made   
   some comments to the news media about this subject. As a former   
   constitutional law professor, and a sitting president, he knew   
   quite a bit about the US Constitution and the 22nd Amendment.   
      
   According to Obama, if he would run for a third term he would win.   
   It would not matter what the US Constitution or the 22nd Amendment   
   said, because the courts (including the USSC) would not go against   
   the will of the people. IOW, if the people voted for him, there   
   would be no ruling against him from taking office for a third term.   
      
   This was just an academic exercize, as Obama had no actual plans   
   to run for a third consecutive term. He was just toying with the news   
   media, kind of like what trolls do in message boards.   
      
   Of course, Barack Obama is free to be elected vice president ...   
   and then assume the duties of being president later on.

   Donald Trump has declared himself as being a "wartime president".   
   Problem is, the pandemic is winning. With no end in sight.
