If Obama were to have simply canceled the 2016 election entirely, he would 
have gotten no opposition from the DNC. In fact the FAGAt's would have 
applauded a "President-for-Life" dictatorship. He wouldn't have even needed a 
"national emergency" pretext to do it.

Some Democrats have discussed the possibility of repealing the 22nd Amendment, 
which limits presidents to two terms, in light of Barack Obama's recent 
speeches. However, such a change would require a significant constitutional 
amendment process and is considered unlikely. Fox News National Constitution

Discussion on a Potential Third Term for Obama

Background on the 22nd Amendment

The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution limits presidents to two elected 
terms. Ratified in 1951, it states that no person can be elected to the 
presidency more than twice. This amendment was established after Franklin D. 
Roosevelt served four terms, prompting concerns about the concentration of 
power.

Recent Speculation

Recently, some Democrats have speculated about the possibility of repealing 
the 22nd Amendment. This discussion gained traction following a notable speech 
by former President Barack Obama at a Democratic National Convention. 
Political analysts have suggested that this speech could lead to renewed 
interest in Obama's leadership and a hypothetical return to the presidency.
Historical Context

Historically, the idea of a third term has been controversial. While a few 
presidents, like Ulysses S. Grant and Theodore Roosevelt, expressed interest 
in a third term, none succeeded in their attempts. The precedent set by George 
Washington, who voluntarily stepped down after two terms, has influenced 
American political culture against third-term candidacies.
Current Political Climate

The current political landscape shows a mix of support and skepticism 
regarding the idea of a third term for Obama. Some Democrats view his 
leadership as a unifying force, while others recognize the challenges of 
changing a constitutional amendment. Without a significant shift in public and 
political support, the prospect of Obama returning for a third term remains 
unlikely.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has 
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the 
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the 
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or 
stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The 
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were 
all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's 
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of 
hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from 
reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk 
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump 
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would 
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. 
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be 
received positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first 
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003. 
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in 
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - 
the very existence of George W. Bush."
