He's not eligible for president without a constitutional amendment.

They only care about the constitution when it serves their own interest. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they continue to disregard the constitution, since no one seems to actually hold them accountable.

I don't mean Trump's successor as president necessarily, just that he wants to have the MAGA crowd cheering for him and listening to him the same way they cheer for and listen to Trump. He wants the spotlight that Trump has; he's as big of a narcissist as Trump is, and I think he's jealous that Trump is out-narcissisting him. Though, as InnovativeInquirer notes, I don't think it's beyond these people at all to ignore the constitution when it's in their interests to do so, so who knows.

The USA doesn't really do the constitution any more.
