Ian Hislop just nailed Donald Trump’s plans for a third term as US president but it might not be as easy as all that

Paul Merton, "Inserting himself?"
Ian Hislop, "Into his favour"
Paul Merton, "I've heard it called many things before but never his favour" pic.twitter.com/S8LS1TiYco

The clip prompted more than a few people to respond with this.
The 12th Amendment states that no person constitutionally ineligible to be president can be vice president.

But don’t expect the Constitution to deter Trump. Anyone?
