If a Vice-President serves 2 years of less of a former President’s term, they are eligible to run for the office of President for two terms. (Amendment 22, U.S. Constitution.)

Is that a direct quotation of the article? It was always my understanding anything 50% or over was considered a full term.

U.S. Constitution – Amendment 22
1. 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.
2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
(More than 2 years = 2 years or less)

So, we agree, 50% or less = 2 years or less.

About the Genesee river. In 1893, or there about, the only way to see a circus was to live near or travel to a rail head. You’ve probably all heard of the Flying Wallendas. In those days they had traveling troupes. Before them, there was the Great Blondin. The river runs trough the Genesee Valley Gorge, near Rochester. Blondin had successfully walked across Niagara Falls on a “slack rope” to great acclaim and was ready to do the same across the Genesee Valley Gorge. Slightly smaller; but still a huge walk, like 1,000 feet.
So on a Saturday morning, the day of Blondin’s escapade, my grandfather (Oliver O. Moore) walked out to the middle of the gorge, on Blondin’s rig and tied a note, wishing Blondin “all the luck.” Ollie had practiced in his backyard, on a slack rope that was only 2 feet off the ground.
Naturally this p.o.’d Blondin no end. Talk about stealing thunder. To smooth over things, Blondin hired Oliver O. Moore, who travelled around the U.S. and Europe for around 5 years, as a highwire daredevil. Steamships in those days.
When Ollie returned stateside, he became an apprentice mechanic at a steam car company that competed with Stanley. There were hundreds of steam car manufacturers then. In 1900, Ollie was the chief mechanic and drove the car to win the Rochester 50 (this was decades before the Indy 500). Average speed to win the Rochester 50 was 28 mph. In 1900, that was fast.

Ollie went on to even greater heights. After he won the Rochester 50, he met the man who eventually founded GM, with Buick as the first brand. He told Ollie to start a dealership; Ollie asked him what a dealership was.
In 1910, Oliver O. Moore moved to Trenton, NJ, and started the first Buick automobile dealership in the State. He sold automobiles, and yes they were supposed to run on roads; but there were very few roads. And yes, they ran on gasoline; but there were no gas stations. One bought gas by the quart from the local grocery store. And if the automobile broke down, one was on one’s own, as there were no service stations then. And the competitors joked that at least when they broke down, you could ride the horse home.
He sold the dealership in 1916 and became a chauffer; what? He became the driver for Jay Guggenheim and traveled, again by steam ship, all across a devastated 1917 Europe. He had two 45s and two Thompson submachine guns to ward off bandits, of which there were lots, especially in Eastern Europe. I asked him why he became a chauffer. He said the pay was better than he made at the dealership. He was a race car driver, a daredevil, and a mechanic. He said he liked the boots; but hated the hat. Guggenheim made lots of deals in war-torn Europe, with Ollie as his driver.

Mornin’ All. We actually got up into the 30’s yesterday afternoon for a few hours. It is 22* now. I ordered a pair of flannel pjs for Loki yesterday. It just seems so cold in her bed on the floor. And, that is where she chooses to sleep most of the night. I also need another sweater for her so I have one to put on her when I wash the other one.
Looks like some bad weather coming across the country over Thanksgiving. I don’t know what that will mean for this area. I remember past Thanksgivings and didn’t even need a sweater. LOL.
Well, got stuff to do. Hope you all have a nice day.

Legalizing Border Crossing for All: The Next Stage of Biden’s Migration Crisis
CIS gets rare access to a secretive, expanding program that makes border crossing “legal”
By Todd Bensman on November 21, 2022 – CIS.org
MEXICALI, Mexico – This northern Mexican city across from California is one of the latest to go live with an unreported, legally questionable new immigration strategy that President Joe Biden’s administration has discretely unfurled for months all along the U.S. southern border.
Twice a day, seven days a week since September, Mexicali city officials working closely with Biden’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection, on a secure shared “CBP-ONE” online platform, select hundreds of people a month for their escorted government-to-government handoffs through the land port of entry to Calexico, Calif. Once the Americans check their paperwork, they legally admit intending illegal border crossers like Nicaraguan Maria Esperanza Diaz Ruiz, 42, into the U.S. interior under a questionable authority known as “humanitarian or significant public benefit parole.”
