Ronnie, you silly goof. What will you do when you term-limit out of power and have no one you can bully. I think I'll start sending you love letters about how I want to lick the pudding from your fingers while gazing into your heartless empty eyes.

Change the term limits before then?

The term limit is Constitutional so he should have got something on the ballot this cycle if he wanted that changed. Here's the kicker though, it's not a lifetime limit. He can't serve more than 2 consecutive terms but he could come back in 2030.

Considering he's had laws Changed in the past to protect his position, this wasn't a crazy thought. It sent me doing research to see if it was possible.

Could be changed once Trump gets into office.

Florida Constitution not US. And no President can change the US Constitution or State's

Well, not without enough support from congress + senate. While Trump might not have the power for that initially, they can just use an administrative state packed with Trump loyalists to attack democrats.

At first thought, this was a crazy idea, but I did a little looking.

It turns out that Article Four Section 4 of the United States Constitution requires Congress to ensure that every state has a Republican form of government.

Pretty sure in Florida he can come back for another 2 terms after sitting 1 term out
