16. If he's just not going to leave,

It's because there wasn't an election, and in 8 years there won't be an electoral college to preside over.

The only way the comment makes any sense is in the context of the next electoral college in January 2025, and it doesn't make sense in that context because it will be Harris, not Vance, presiding over the electoral college. That's only one fact from reality (wrong person presiding on 1/2024). Both of the other scenarios posed are two or more steps from reality (He wins, the law changes to make a third term possible, and Vance presides over the electoral college in 2029 OR He wins and just decides not to leave - which wouldn't be an electoral college (with Vance refusing to certify the election - it would be something even wilder - like abolishing elections, declaring martial law, etc. none of those square with the image of Vance showing with the comment that there won't be anyone to stop him next time).

I think they were referring to if Trump wins and then runs again LymphocyteLover Oct 7 #12

He's term limited, so that's even farther off. n/t Ms. Toad Oct 7 #13

in theory... but the whole point is he's not going to leave if he gets in. Remember Jan 6th? LymphocyteLover Oct 7 #15

If he's just not going to leave, Ms. Toad Oct 7 #16

I get your point but another possibility is if Vance is elected VP and runs in 2028 LymphocyteLover Oct 8 #17

K&R with gusto meow2u3 Oct 6 #9

It's disappointing that the end of the ad suggests that Vance will be in the same position Pence was in Ms. Toad Oct 6 #10

"next time" means if there is a next certiication with him as president, not the next certification prodigitalson Oct 7 #14
