22nd amendment does not allow an individual to be ELECTED to presidency more than twice. Says nothing about serving. Vance runs as President. Trump runs as Vance’s VP. Vance takes oath at noon on January 20, 2029. At 12:05, he resigns and Trump becomes president. Quite simple really.

Trump thinks he can run as VP with Vance for P and have Vance step down while he dteps up, because the Constitution says no one may be "elected" to a 3rd term. But if he wants to go that direction yet claims he "won" in 2020, his 2024 victory is thereby null and void (says "elected" -not "serve".
