6. And so, the odds go up each successive year that this year will be the one!

I don't necessarily believe he'll leave before his term is up due to health.

There are so many other factors at play now, and some may eventually lead to his resignation or to the 25th Amendment removal process.

Also, for him to stay beyond the limits of the second term would require a lot of fight. He doesn't have that in him anymore.
