This from Mike Huckabee:

Mike Huckabee

A George Washington University law professor is proposing that Biden name Barack Obama as his running mate to save his candidacy. He claims it’s constitutional because while Obama is barred from being elected to a third term as President, he’s not barred from running for Vice President and ascending to the Presidency. Matt Margolis at PJ Media explains why this is wrong, stupid, and a very good argument for never taking a constitutional law class from this professor:

Democrats Have a ‘Plan C’ for Their Biden Problem

Let’s just say it: We expect the Democrat Party to cheat like crazy in November. The only logical reason they would’ve worked so tirelessly to set up a system this vulnerable and this opaque is so they can cheat more easily, more undetectably, and on as large a scale as they might need. No other explanation makes sense.

Tim adds:
I think Mr. Huckabee is correct but since when has that stopped the Democrats? The news media will promote the idea Obama can run and unless SCOTUS were to take immediate action to shut this notion down they will put him on the ballot and start a runaway train rolling. There is clearly enough gray area in this for the Democrats to pull this off.

Bear in mind there are examples where the Constitution is ignored. The Tenth Amendment comes to mind.

I think the 12th Amendment cited in the article has enough wiggle room that they can ignore it. Obama would not be Constitutionally ineligible to the OFFICE of the President so much as to be ELECTED to the office of the President. Splitting hairs (we all know the intent) but that is how they will argue it.

Bear in mind this would be a Hail Mary pass, but they are going to need one and given their hatred of Trump and their lust for absolute power it is something they would try.

We certainly know from the "birther" issue that the matter need not be settled before someone can run for and hold office.

And we saw the multiple vote fraud efforts in 2020, many in direct violation of the law (like Governors or Secretaries of State simply implementing drop boxes and mail in voting without legislative approval with the help of their pet judges.) They'll try it if they can.

Also, I would point out that there are a dozen states or more that have laws that do not allow a convicted felon to run for any office in those states (including President). I warn everyone the Democrats might well try to block Trump from running at the last moment (to make legal challenges difficult or impossible). Many on our side argue this violates the Constitution but in fact the Constitution only sets a minimum standard and the states can impose other requirements. They may try to block Trump's run yet.

So I believe it entirely possible they would try it. It may not be legal, but when did that stop these people?
