Can you point to the legal documentation for this? including exact wording.


edit: to be clear, I already know what I'm asking for. But I want to be inclusive by encouraging people to use proof.


Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the Presidency******

Office of the Presidency includes vice president
If he tries I'm sure the supreme Court will make the last call mencing over words
Legit hope he finds one because then he will lose to Obama

Seems open to interpretation. Much like democrats think "shall not be infringed" is open for interpretation

The world doesn't need the US. I dare you to find a country more destructive in the past 100 years than the US. Russia may come close but why China? What has China done that is so much worse?


China and its people might not exist without the US saving it from near annihilation only 8 decades ago.

Of course the American corrupt regime has destroyed much in it's era but I'm also pretty sure China has over a billion people who can't say what they want in fear of being murdered by their government.

Do not forget about how China has killed over 90% of their land animals and are doing the same to the sea. There are countless other examples of what China has done bad to the earth such as dumping plastics in oceans.

None of us are innocent in all of this but to act like China isn't also historically bad is fake news propaganda

swing and a miss.

During the end of Obama's presidency people were making rumors about their desire to have Obama as speaker of the house.
(typical, when it's their guy it's okay but when it's not, it's not okay.)

-----
United States presidential line of succession
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession

The Vice president succeeds the Presidency, upon certain circumstances.
Vice President and President are not the same.

https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/full-text
Article Two of the United States Constitution
Section 1: President and vice president

"He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows... -"

As we see in Article 2, Section 1. The Vice President is a separate role.
(the same reason Joe Biden was vice president for 8 years and president for 4 years)
Article 2 covers many of the specific details about their roles, but not all of course.

-----
Now lets get into why people think what I proposed isn't possible, but they're wrong.

Amendment 12

Code
The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;

The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;

The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.[a]

The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.[1]


Before I explain let's ask chatgpt

ChatGPT - No, a two-term president in the United States cannot become vice president. The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1951, limits an individual to two terms as president. While the Constitution does not explicitly prohibit a two-term president from serving as vice president, the 12th Amendment and the custom of the political process effectively make it unlikely. Additionally, the prevailing interpretation is that a two-term president cannot hold any office in the government, including vice president.

ChatGPT is wrong to say No and explains why it is wrong.
Specifically
1. The Constitution does not prohibit a two-term president from serving as vice president.
2. custom of the political process effectively make it unlikely.
Custom - Noun - 1. a traditional and widely accepted way of behaving or doing something that is specific to a particular society, place, or time
3. prevailing interpretation
Interpret - Verb - to conceive in the light of individual belief, judgment, or circumstance

There is nothing in the 12th amendment that is legally stopping Trump from becoming the Vice President.

I'm curious on your thoughts on this:

Should China/Chinese people submit to the white man as their masters & superiors? I believe they should, not only because they were saved by us and owe us their existence, but also because most Asian people appear to recognize white people as a higher caste of peoples (categorically superior) and seek them out for association

There would be alot of mutual benefit in China submitting to be a part of the nascent Golden Empire

Ok bro you know you and I are bros and I always have your back on 98% on all issues. As you have seen for the past few years.

So let me say it in my own words the best that I can and hopefully you can see you from my point of view.

For the first question.

1. Should China/Chinese people submit to the white man as their masters & superiors?

The interesting thing about the Chinese is, they don't care who rule over them as long as they are having a decent economy and happy life.

Two historical examples Mongols and Manchurian who rule them a total of roughly 400 to 500 years combined.
The Chinese even accepted the pig tails where you see caricature in Western media portraying what a Chinese is like

The Pig Tail is a Manchurian tradition not a Chinese tradition.

That being said they are somewhat like the West or should I say most humans from different races think quite similarly in this manner. Nobody from a particular race like to be ruled over or subjugated by another by any means.
I mean would you like the Muslim to subjugate you ? Well the answer is quite evident.

2. I believe they should, not only because they were saved by us and owe us their existence.

No they do not owe the West or white people anything. Let me try to put it in this manner.

Without the Russians and them throwing 20 to 30 million troops, the West might have had a much harder time taking out Nazi Germany.

Without the Chinese, Koreans, South East Asian Guerillas fighting against the Japs, Americans would have lost a lot more military personnel.

However let's be honest, technology and a twist of fate.. " the Atomic Bomb " ended the war sooner than later, but the win on the Pacific is also partly due to Germany's downfall with Japan the only one holding out, so they will lose sooner than later anyways, the Bombs are just to there to make a statement and to experiment



3. But also because most Asian people appear to recognize white people as a higher caste of peoples (categorically superior) and seek them out for association

This is true in a lot of sense because the West with the industrial revolution from the British and her Empire, have influenced 3/4 of the world. Notice you and I are communicating in English..

That being said the West dominance started with the Portuguese, Netherlands and Spanish from the 1600s and handed the reins over to the British Empire and East India Company with her peak during Queen Victoria's era.
With the sands of time , this is a actually a very recent phenomenon.

So why do Han Chinese to be specific. look at white people and think that they are " higher caste" . To be honest, they do not. They literally think the West but specifically the Anglo Saxon Group are some low class uncultured group of people.
What you see and think that they do by looking towards the whites as a superior race is because most of these "Chinese" that you might have communicated with are from Ex British Colonies ------> like me :lol:

We have a very very soft spot for Britain and the Queen ( Whom passed away sadly).

The Han Chinese in China do not think that way though.. To them you are a historical anomaly. To them you are not the Roman Empire, Athens, Ottomans. To them when you are being subjugated by the Romans , they were already building the Great Wall and their version of skyscrapers when you were still plowing and being under Roman Controlled.

So they literally think you are below them.

And it is not only the Chinese that think you are below them. Even the Japanese and Koreans think you are below them..
The Chinese are less obvious than the Koreans and Japanese because the Manchurans during the Qing Dynasty and later on Marxism and Maoism broke their will so they tend to be a little less obvious.

Seeking out Association

This is very easily explained.... Because of the West Dominance seeking out to associate with the West or White people is simply a way to make more money (USD) because the West controls the world economy..
Watch my Tariff Video and what Lee Kuan Yew said.

East Asians in particular are quite similar to our beloved race in that mindset... you know who I am talking about. :rofl:

4. There would be alot of mutual benefit in China submitting to be a part of the nascent Golden Empire

Historically speaking .... Empires and Nations rise and fall. The Greeks , the Romans, the Egyptians, the Ottoman Turks etc etc
Some might come back and some don't.

There are two buggers in the World that have rise and fell and is still around

1. China
2. India.

The reason is very simple. They are fine with being ruled over as long as you meet their needs.. So they survived for a few thousand years.

Now that being said that they are fine being ruled over. They also understand the concept that Empires do not last forever.
Because History have taught the Chinese that Empires and dominance do not last forever. They have personally experienced it Multiple times.

They simply think...even if it is not out loud... your version of Golden Empire is not there anymore. So they don't have to kowtow or kneel towards you.

I am not sure if I explain it properly. But from my communication with Mainland China Chinese, this is pretty much what a lot of Chinese think In recent years..

So why do the Chinese think this way.....they have access to VPN they watch a lot of Youtube Videos and how the " West " belittle them.
Long story short, in a rather weird way, the West is helping CCP with their nationalistic propaganda.

On paper the CCP will ban the Chinese from watching Western media and Youtube videos. But with the events of the past 5 to 10 years.
CCP are elated when you actually use VPN and watch them.

Some random dude making a one off comment on Twitter doesn’t make it widely accepted idea. Nobody serious was actually contemplating this.
