    … no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected…

    So having previously served two years exactly is allowed.

      If we’re being pedantic, Harris already served as acting president for 1h25m on November 19, 2021 while Biden underwent a colonoscopy. If hypothetically Biden had died or resigned exactly 2 years into his term (January 20, 2023 12pm ET), and Harris assumed the presidency for the remaining two years, her total time would be over 2 years and she would be ineligible for a second term.

          I’m always pedantic, except when I’m not 😂

          So you are not always pedantic. So you are not really pedantic if you said you are always but are not… unless you were pedantic about saying you are not always pedantic?

          In that case, could she have her new VP take over for a few hours to negate that time she accumulated previously?

      New conspiracy theory: The reason the US has only incredibly old presidential candidates is because the VPs are pulling all the strings.
