Is that the law? I thought he would serve out the term to 2028, and then be able to be elected twice in addition. No?
Able to? Sure. But he'd instantly lose the 2028 primary. Hence, lame duck.
He can't serve anymore. Would he have that kind of power? I got the impression that most Reps (including Vance) just sucked up to him out of convenience, because he was in power. Once he's out of power, he's mostly irrelevant.
I think this overly simplifies the nature of power. Trump has a lot of power because he is President, but he also has a lot of power because a very large proportion of the GOP voter base loves him. The former might change with a successful 25A maneuver, but the latter would not. Plus, most of the GOP folks currently in Congress have already committed their brand to being Trump supporters and have every incentive to burn the Traitor Vance as a matter of political expediency even if Trump is no longer wielding any formal authority at that point.
