Should Barack Obama be constitutionally eligible to run for president again?
This question stems from debates on democratic choice.Term limits restrict popular sovereignty. I want a constitutional, not political, answer.

From my experience, the constitutional answer is straightforward: Barack Obama is not eligible to run again under the Twenty-Second Amendment. I have seen debates framing this as a democratic limitation, but constitutionally the rule is clear and categorical. I would recommend separating political desirability from constitutional validity, as only a constitutional amendment could change this outcome.
