Fortunately they would have to repeal the 22nd Amendment to allow that dingdong a third term

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

It’s amazing what a little uncertainty, a supine Congress, and an impotent judiciary can do for your prospects of committing high treason.

Traditionally you put a puppet in place to avoid these sorts of pesky rules. Family members are popular.

> No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice

Which makes Trump's repeated claims that he was elected in 2020 doubly stupid.

Good luck with that
