    if you’ve been elected twice, you aren’t eligible to be President.

    That’s not what the 22nd Amendment says, though.

    No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

    In both cases it speaks to how many times you can be elected to the office of the president. But election isn’t the only pathway. There is line of succession as Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and the Cabinet Secretaries.
