Per 25A PotUS can assign a Veep to a vacancy.
So here's how a sufficiently cultish group can install whoever they want.
1. 2 person ticket "wins election"
2. VP resigns, PotUS nominates a VP
3. President resigns. Nominated VP is now PotUS.
judgeluttig.bsky.social the amendment says he can't *be elected* more than twice, right? So...
What if he's elected as V.P. for Mike Pence,

Kirk showed his face, spoke politely and rarely promoted violence. For today's right wing, he was a role model.

Cracking has side effects, though:
cracking it makes it easier to flip districts.
