There are those who look at the US Constitution as a near-perfect document. That it is a constitution which, as amended and as modulated by case law, has stood through 240 years is also a fact. That it contains some interesting loopholes is also true.
Consider the present impeachment proceedings. It is possible [Ed.: Though highly improbable,] that President of the United States of America Donald Trump can be removed from office with less than a year remaining of his term of office. It is also true that he is in his first term and thus not barred from serving a second term.
You can see where this is going. It's possible, and not banned by the constitution, that a president can be impeached, removed from office, and can then return to office at the next election.
