    That’s basically what Putin has done, alternating between Prime Minister and President, allowing him to stay in power indefinitely. He’s probably coaching HitlerPig to do the same thing.

    Vance would have to run (and win), with HitlerPig as VP, and then defer most responsibilities to HitlerPig.

    There’s a major problem with this. The biggest reason HitlerPig wants to be president is because he can’t be prosecuted while he is president. SCOTUS gave him immunity superpowers, but that immunity does not extend to the VP. Once he does not occupy the presidency, he can be immediately arrested and prosecuted.

    That depends on a lot of variables such as DoJ cooperation, pardons, etc., but he would still be vulnerable to state charges, prosecutions, and imprisonments. He may think that President Vance will protect him, but what if they all decide that HitlerPig has fulfilled his duties, and he can be thrown to the Blue State wolves, giving them some measure of revenge, taking some of the pressure off the Nazi government.

      Yeah, like we did in 2021.

      Trump can’t run for VP, that isn’t a legal loophole. It’d just be a blatant violation of the constitution, for whatever that’s worth.

        Yes. Anyone who’s barred from running for president, is also automatically barred from running for vice president.
