Would that limit her to a single term?

If the Democrats were smart, they would demand an immediate trial and impeach Biden. That would make Kamala the incumbent going into the election.

No. She would be eligible for two terms. I believe the total cap is ten years.

Thanks. I thought that was the case, but it’s been a very long time since I took US government classes. Heck, it’s been a very long time since I’ve been in school! Me old!

I am going off memory. I looked it up when Joe got elected, as I wasn’t sure if he would make it. I knew he had to make it through half his term for her to be eligible for two elections.

… how would that be beneficial to anyone?

Incumbents typically win elections. People wouldn’t be as uncertain about her. She could jump in and start pushing her policies. Since none of her policies could get implemented before election, nor the consequences of them, she would slide right into office.

… right. Im not even going to bother trying yo unpack that complete nonsense.

It isn’t nonsense. If you don’t understand basic political theory, that is on you. It is well-known incumbents have a much better chance against a challenger.
