Vice-President Obama for 2024?

[carpetbagger]

68. Not a good idea, cf. Putin

We have the two-term limit for a reason. I think it practically makes no sense for Biden to go with Obama, even if Harris were not the obvious and qualified choice. First, off, unless you have a working majority in at least the Senate, Obama wouldn't get seated. And it really doesn't make sense to leave a succession fight in the air where the USSC or the House Speaker could take the presidency away by law, rule, or mob.

Beyond that, nothing good ever comes from taking a term-limited head of government and moving them to a puppeteer position. That's what happened in Russia when Putin termed out the first time. It defeats the purpose of the 22nd Amendment, which is critically important now that we've had a number of rogue presidents who have shielded criminality behind the power of the office.
