      You’re missing their point. More is ambiguous in that sentence. It can be defined as consecutive like you have, or it can be defined as anything more than two consecutive terms. Since Obama has had two consecutive terms, any term now would be beyond two consecutive terms even though that term itself is not consecutive.

        What conservatives are really good at is injecting something that doesn’t exist like ‘consecutive’ in the number of terms so that people argue about it as if it is actually important. I was being cheeky, you are validating their bullshit by acting like it matters.

        Also, if Trump won in 2028 then his first term would count as more than two consecutive terms. Now if someone was elected every other election they could be elected any number of times until they died!
