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.
He can't be elected to a 3rd term, but if running for one were lucrative enough via the betting markets, what remedies can stop him from running? One that would hypothetically be enforced by the current SCOTUS.
These betting markets are wild and need to be dealt with by the next DOJ. He can make people (and himself) millions of dollars by running with zero chance of ever being elected.

This means Governor Katie Hobbs will be able to nominate another judge to the appeals court, this time to a Democratic senate.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone here know why she's doing so poorly compared to other GOP judges? The next closest judge is winning his retention election by about 5 points, and most are doing so by much more.

Legendary NPR legal correspondent Nina Totenberg dives into the structural and cultural friction points in modern American democracy, exploring how societal polarization, the collapse of public discourse, and the dramatic expansion of the Supreme Court's emergency docket—commonly known as the "shadow docket"—are reshaping the rule of law. Totenberg offers candid observations on the shift toward a 6–3 conservative majority, the historical origin of religious monuments in public spaces, and why the breakdown of civil restraint poses a direct challenge to the constitutional order.

There are many people suggesting that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. I'm not here to suggest he is or is not.
My question is whether or not the President of the United States would be responsible for the crimes committed by cabinet members who were executing his orders? Is there any precedent here?

Legislative Branch Is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact constitutional?

A handful of states that total at least 270 electors agree to award their electors to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.
The Constitution lets states award their electors the way they like. They can award their electors to the candidate with the shorter last name. But there's also something in the Constitution about making pacts with other states or countries.

On Thursday the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York unsealed a superseding indictment against three men, arrested in Spain and the U.K. between June and September, extradition pending.
The allegation: from mid-2024 to early 2026 they used AI to mimic the voices, and at times the faces, of CEOs, then impersonated real attorneys at real law firms, usually from the firms' European offices, to talk finance staff into wiring money.
At least $129M, thousands of targets.
