Re: The Awesomesauce of the American 2028 Presidential Elections

That was, I assume, for the 2008 election, not the 2028 one.
There is a loophole, either big or medium-sized, in the 22nd amendment. Obama cannot run for president a third time, but he may probably run for vice-president.
There is some debate about that, but as he's probably a supreme court justice by then, he could get a favourable ruling. Assume that, after their re-election in 2028, president Ocasio-Cortez and VP Omar both resign. Then the presidency, by
the line of succession, will go to the speaker of the House, which happens to be Barack Obama.
