If he lives that long, Trump's last day in office will be January 21, 2027

Reasoning: This is the Twenty-Second Amendment to the Constitution:

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.

Couchlover Vance would want to both finish out Trump's term and be eligible to run for two more of his own. If he takes Trump's spot at any time between now and 1-21-27 he only gets to run for one term. Therefore, he will wait until just after the dividing line between being a one-term and a two-term president is to take over for Trump.

There's not much incentive there to apply 25A to dementia before 1-21-27. Then the rush is on.

I have doubts if he'll be above soil at that date. If he is, they will keep him hidden, and allow Stephen Miller to continue in the role he presently plays.
