Concern over President Donald Trump's health has been renewed as he sported what appeared to be a droopy face during an appearance at a 9/11 ceremony at the Pentagon Thursday.

Again, let's stop and point out that there are no methods. The 22nd Amendment specifically says, "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." Trump has been elected twice, which bars him from seeking a third term.
