Probably removing term limits also, Putin style. i remember him throwing this idea around before.
He can't, that's an amendment so he'd need another amendment to get rid of it. Hed need to get 38 state lesiglatures on board and there's only 27 states with republican controlled legislatiures.
Russia's ammendment was passed via popular vote. If we passed amendments the same way I'd be concerned, but our current method makes it highly unlikely.
I hope so. That's good to know it would be so difficult to pass, I just remember him talking about wanting it.
(But him wanting something and it being possible aren't necessarily in the same universe, thank goodness)
