Summary
Steve Bannon has suggested Donald Trump could run for president again in 2028, arguing the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit might not apply since Trump’s terms weren’t consecutive.
Speaking at the New York Young Republican Club, Bannon dismissed legal barriers, echoing claims that Trump’s 2020 loss was illegitimate.
The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, explicitly prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice, making such a scenario highly improbable without a constitutional amendment.
Meanwhile, Mitt Romney predicted Trump’s Vice President-elect JD Vance will likely be the GOP’s 2028 nominee.
Has there ever been a non-violent overthrow of a fascist or otherwise authoritarian regime? Genuine question. I can’t think of any, but I’m no expert.
Edit: Thank you, everyone! I’ll be reading up on each of these.

Not totally non-violent, but the closest I know.
