Yeah she can, term limit doesn’t apply for people who took the position more than 2 years into a term. LBJ, for example, was allowed to run for a thirs time, but opted not to because of how unpopular Vietnam war made him.
Edit: exact text:
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.
As long as it’s past the halfway point of the term it wouldn’t count against her. With just a few months left she could do two more terms if she wanted.
I think the real reason, originally at least, was plausible deniability.
There was a ton of “look she’s only the vice president, you can’t blame her for Biden’s unwavering support for genocide,” early on.
At this point she’s made it clear that Biden is governing exactly how she would anyways, so I don’t know why they still keep up the charade, maybe inertia? Election is less than a month out anyways.
But if they 25th Biden, then Kamala can’t serve her anointed 2 terms as president
