[quote=ucodegen] it would limit him to only one more term of Presidential office beyond the short few day term impeachment would give him. [/quote]
That part isn’t correct. You cannot be *elected* to the Presidency more than twice, or serve more than 10 years if you ascend due to a vacancy. So if the 25th were invoked, he could serve out the remaining ~10 days of this term, plus run for two full terms.
I don’t know what his future ambitions are (hopefully none), but in his calculus he probably figures he’s rocked the boat enough already and just run the clock out.
