The black-letter law of the 22a is pretty clear.

As I've said elsewhere, this is the most judicially activist #SCOTUS in history. It has outright voided part of Art2§4 already, and neutered part of the 14th Amendment.
Everyone has this idea that they are textualists or originalists. But no originalist would have ignored #AlexanderHamilton's Federalist 69.
They're judicial activists, happy to be erroneously viewed by everyone as entirely the opposite.

in reply to JdeBP • • •No, that's not what happened, not what they ruled.
SCOTUS didn't void at all void Art2§4. It emphasized that the article is absolutely in force, but it has to be applied properly.
They were emphasizing Federalist writings, not ignoring them. But the reporting misreports legal issues so often it's no wonder people get this stuff backwards.
Read the ruling directly. The Court emphasized the importance of federal oversight of federal law.
