"The president and I want to get to the moon in this president's term" - Sean Duffy NASA administrator.

A scary way to set a schedule on a complex project with lives at stake. They don't care though.

The silver lining is that they are operating under the assumption that he will leave office at the conclusion of his term.

Which will backfire spectacularly when Obama is re-elected.

The constitutional amendment that GOP have put forward specifically prohibits any president who previously served two consecutive terms. (they had already thought this through, it literally only allows Trump three terms)

  “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, 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 twice.”

They can't possibly believe that they'll get 37 states to ratify it in the next three years to make it all square and legal. Their only plausible path is some very tortured Supreme Court ruling.
