22nd Amendment which is now in effect says one can only be elected twice. Both of them have already been elected twice. So if Washington+Lincoln were magically alive ANYONE who hadn't been elected twice already (like TCF) would win by default, just by being the only person running actually eligible for it.

Fucking dumbass blind squirrel.
