    So hear me out here. He can only be elected twice. But the text of Article 2 says in the event of a tie, no one reaching a majority, or fuckery, Congress “chooses” the president.

    I’ll be over here ordering more whiskey. I’m pretty sure I’m going to need it.

    Oh and while there has to be an election every 4 years, Congress decides when to choose and call the electors. Yup definitely getting the good stuff.

    Fucking gentleman’s agreement of a country.
