Correct. He’d have to resign before the 2yr limit of second term, and re-run for re-election, for the 22nd Amendment to be valid. I forgot to include that; thanks for reminding me. A friend posited that yesterday as his ‘theory’, while I was in his store, and I was stunned. Never even occurred to me.
Nope...again...
22nd Amendment:
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.
