I am not sure. From the wording above, it sounds to me that you can get elected as VP and then kill your boss 25 months into the term indefinitely. Loophole!
Boss doesn’t need to die, just resign. You could literally just have a sham person be elected as the “president” and then resign on Day 1 each time to keep someone as president indefinitely.
We’re about to find out what happens when states refuse to recognize the winner of the Electoral College. Georgia, Arizona, and likely other states are going to fuck the state votes and refuse to certify.
If you can get enough state reps and congressional reps to vote for you each cycle (as VP), then take over from the sham president, you could effectively be president forever.
Technically the state reps and congressional reps need to be voted in too, so the voters have some power, even if gerrymandering makes it less than it should be.
Yes, hard cutoff is 2.5 terms or 10 years.

Assuming voters played along with that of course.
You don’t need the voters. You need the states.
