#1 It also doesn't make sense to warehouse millions at great expense who contribute nothing but remain a threat to social commerce and the productive members of society. It's only possible in a very rich society to fund this avoidance.

#2 All part of the plan. Bathhouse Barry’s 3rd term going better than planned. If Slow Joe can last until the convention, he will nominate Barry as his running mate. Joe then resigns leaving Barry in the left seat. Don’t believe there is an amendment prohibiting him from being VP. I’ll leave it up the the Constitutional scholars here at the Burg to comment.

How about scholars of Etruscan language?

#4 12th amendment:
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Since Oblahblah already served two terms, he's maxed out and ineligible IIUC

#5 Don’t believe there is an amendment prohibiting him from being VP.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

So technically there isn't, but I doubt the courts will allow this as if the president croaks the previous president that hit the term limit will be back in the seat.

#6 I get the impression that he doesn’t want to work that hard anymore. Being the grey eminence behind the scenes — a word in this one’s ear or that one’s at a private gathering seems more his speed, and the presidency was only a step to this final, pleasurable status.

#9 Being the grey eminence behind the scenes

Une éminence grise, or greasy eminence as the Frenchish people say. Some of us had the impression Barack was not much interested in working hard when he was the Prez first go-round.
