Well, sure, that rule existed in many democracies and it got lifted quite often, for Orban, Erdogan, Morales, Putin and I'm sure a dozen others. I wouldn't know exactly what would need to happen in the US, but what if he just does run anyways? Probably can't indict him over it, the right senate won't impeach and the RNC would probably comply.

But even if he's not, as I said, I don't worry so much about Trump becoming a dictator, I worry about the next guy that finds some loosened screws. And to be honest. US democracy in its current form seems less and less sustainable by the minute. People are sick of it and I can not even blame them.
