Do you actually believe former guy will just simply go away after one more term? I don't. DJT is the GOP's ticket to power and power is what they seek. He's managed to coalesce the base like no other. I don't believe the party that's refused to condemn an outright insurrection will allow the Constitution to stand in the way of keeping tRump in power. The other half of the equation is the man himself. The narcissistic person that he is won't relish relinquishing the position and power the office holds. In office he's untouchable. No criminal or civil prosecutions allowed and no political party to keep him in check. Even now and he's steering the party without even holding any office.
Now about that pesky Constitution. With the Repubs in control of all three branches of government the Constitution will likely be tailored to their wishes. The current 22nd. says a person can't be elected more than twice. That can be changed or simply some excuse for suspending the election.
