Could Trump Be In The White House Again In 2028?

I'm not nearly as "constitutionally aware" as I could (or maybe should) be; I'm assuming that there are Gulchers who will know the answer to this question.

I know that Trump cannot run for president again; but is there anything that would prevent him from running as the Vice-Presidential nominee? I get tingly all over at the thought of Trump being on the ticket and in the White House again, even if he's the Veep instead of Prez. He says in this article that he won't be the VP on the Republican ticket in 2028, but it wouldn't surprise me if he changed his mind.

    IMHO, over the next three years Trump will continue to hammer out what needs to be done for the Republic the best he can and then go play golf. The Republican party has a darn good lineup going into 2028 and I think Trump has had a hand in making sure of that. Time for him to retire from politics and do something else.

    I doubt he'd do that, mainly due to his age.

      ...then there's that guy in Cameroon, just "won" another (self s)election, he's 92. He's been in office for 40 years, and he'll be almost 100 if he finishes this term, but there's a lot of of people in the streets saying "Thank you for your service, but enough is enough! ~ Time for someone new!"

    Legally he can't run for VP either.
    That doesn't mean that one of kids can't do so, however.

      That prompted another thought: Can he be appointed VP? Assume Vance gets elected and Rubio is his running mate. If something happened to Rubio, could Vance appoint Trump to be his VP? I'm really trying hard to find a scenario where Trump is still in the White House for another 4 years, still being the cause for TDS.

        Why doesn't Trump just pull an "Obummer" and buy a nice place in DC near the WH and be a frequently invited guest just to piss off the left if he is succeeded by a Republican. He doesn't have to do anything - just show up for brunch and pretend he's doing something (well, maybe he can give tours of the new ball room - LMAO). The Marxist media will go apoplectic, LOL. If the next prez is a Dem (cough cough), he can have brunch with any number of Republican senators and others and do nothing except piss off the Dems and drive the left press crazy.

    Okay, Bannon is the guy driving this. And he is DRIVING the Dems INSANE over it. Especially NewScum.

    So, I would hope that AFTER the midterms...
    Bannon Proposes a Quick Change to the constitution, SPECIFIC for Trump. Because of all of the Lawfare, and how the DeepState Ruined his first term at every term, he never Truly got 2 full terms.

    AND GOAD the dems who will REFUSE it... Into thinking Trump is losing his mind, and wouldn't it be better to BEAT him this third time around???

    The Dems MIGHT be dumb enough to pass this, just to show they can BEAT Trump fair and square.

    And it was be a GLORIOUS Win to shoot for...

    Look up the 22nd amendment online. It starts out by saying you can only be elected president twice. Forget all those garbage scenarios to make an end run around the Constitution. That's what Dimocrats do.

    Final Comment. I think the USA needs Vance to "Put a bow on it".

    Also, Trump is getting old. He couldn't think of Armenia and the other country he negotiated the peace with.

    His time should be fleeting so it is properly remembered!

    Just my opinion.

    I am not an authority, but my understanding is that a person who is not eligible to be President cannot run for Vice President.

    That said, at his age, it would be insanity to do it even if it were legal. I don't care who you are, and I know that sometimes Trump seems super-human, NO ONE is going to live forever. And as you get older, the deterioration tends to accellerate, both mentally and physically. I don't see how he manages to keep his schedule as it is, but it can't last forever.

    Honestly, I think all this talk is simply him trolling the Left. They lose their minds (what little they have) over everything he says, anyway, and this just triggers the daylights out of them.

    He's having fun!

    Trump could be the VP, but he could NOT then take the presidency in some event. However, he just said he isn't going to run as VP, and he can't be #2.

    This nonsense over another Trump term should go away.
