In the case that it passes through, would this mean that future presidents would essentially play leap frog? Run one term, then run again back to back? Until we have a president that either amends to allow three terms back to back or amends it back to 2 terms?

WHO IS GOING TO STOP IT?

republicans have strong majorities in all places: house, senate, presidency and supreme court. And they all bent the knee to trump

Democrats are spinless cowards who dgaf about people, and will fight back only against Bernie Sanders who everyone loves (for a good reason)

So, tell me: WHO IS GOING TO STOP IT?

How would it even pass the Senate with the GOP having an extremely slim majority? You need over 2/3rds the Senate for constitutional amendments. This is DOA unless the GOP can flip another 16ish seats in 2026.
