Actually, term limits subvert people’s will. If it was the people’s will to democratically vote Trump to a third term, this would technically help the people’s will be put into place

New leaked memo describing a plan to change the constitution to allow Trump a third term, this is no longer a “they’re talking about ways” and is now a “they’re actively trying to subvert the people’s will and constitution”

you could make the argument that its the people will to limit term limits since they went through all the effort to actually make a constitutional amendment on it...

That was what 1950? Can you really say it’s the people’s will if most of the people who wanted it are dead?

Yeah I know- social contract and implied consent, etc…. And maybe that’s what the paper is about overturning the 22nd amendment or more so making a new amendment

The people could also will to change that amendment. But we won’t. Also, we don’t want a government that is a complete direct democracy; people are stupid. That’s why we have checks on power; term limits are one such check
