Exactly. Two big things at play with all this.
A. Legal loopholes and bizarre interpretations of wording. We see it every day, lawyers and politicians and the elites find the craziest ways to dodge the laws that bind your or I.
B. He ALREADY violates COUNTLESS laws and the constitution and the amendments and none of those are being enforced. He violated the 14th by inciting and enabling an insurrection, no consequences. He has committed treason with foreign powers, no consequences. He stole government documents and had them at his damn resort, no consequences. He committed election interference and fraud, no consequences. He diddled little children, no consequences. He's committed non-stop grifts and scams and frauds with his status of PUBLIC OFFICE as president for personal gain at the expense of the country, no consequences. And no one even wants to read this far, but the list keeps going. Not a single REAL consequence yet, he's captured all 3 branches of the government and has loyalists everywhere that are stopping any real actions against him, just like a classic mob crime boss.
So if laws can be dodged or interpreted differently and if the laws we do have simple aren't being enforced then there literally is nothing preventing him from continuing on, and he can make up whatever scenario he wants to pacify his brain-dead-followers into believing it's the "right thing to do".
Hell, he could just say "the libs are trying to come get ya! I need to stay president to stop em!" And 77mil people would fall in line. Ugh.
