      Pretty sure non-consecutive terms don’t matter in the US. The 22nd amendment only refers to being elected no more than twice:

      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. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

      That said he could probably just run for a third term anyway and the courts would say it was okay.

      Nah. The 22nd amendment says “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”.

      Now if I wanted to subvert this and had control of the electoral system, I’d simply stack the electoral college so no one gets a majority, upon which the decision devolves to the house, and such a president is “chosen”, not “elected”
