So if President Trump was elected from the Speaker position, how long would his term be and would it count as his second term?

First the writer misleads his readers with this, “go the direct action route again, as on January 6.”

We didn’t do nuffin on January 6. So the writer is misleading or stupid.

I'm not sure, and don't think the Con Amendment addresses this. I would think a "term" would me a FULL term, from Jan 20 to Jan 20 four years later. At least I think a competent attorney could make a strong case for this.

Wouldn't it be awesome if this slim chance were to materialize, and the Democrats most wicked corruption were to be turned into poetic justice? Trump getting the Speaker's position and then President again for a little more than a year. Then winning re-election in 2024? I know the left would be rioting in every leftist enclave, but we'd have a better position to squash it.

Uh, no. Paxton was indicted by a grand jury for securities fraud 6 years ago. It has been tied up due to procedural issues, but will likely go to trial early next year. If this spooks the voters, TX may have another Bush stepping into the Statehouse as AG.

Depending on how long the impeachment took, it would be less than 2 years, and not count as a term.

But 100% not going to happen. It is not possible to get 67 Senators to convict.

I think you’re misreading the author, rather. He isn’t implicating Jan 6, us as participants, or the actions itself. I think he was just depicting it as an example of direct action, which it was, good or bad.

IOW, calm down everyone and let's see what happens after we know what we already know. This is a recipe that Einstein would define as insanity.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I'm referring to a much more recent development.

My belief as well.

Gotcha. And apparently he is being investigated by the Feds for accepting a bribe. Pretty much a perfect storm for grandson Bush to waltz in with negative ads next year.
