Okay, we've all been hearing/seeing the "groundswell" of support around an Obama 3rd term, with stories like this one from The Hill:

Try this on for size, as a timeline:
(Ongoing): Incessant drumbeat pining for Obama to have four more years
Sometime between now and the end of the D convention: Hillary names the kenyan as her VP running mate.
She wins through dirty tricks/October surprise/media assistance/voting "irregularities"/ whatever means
Jan 20, 2017, noon: Hildebeest sworn in
Jan 20, 2017, 12:01: Hildebeest resigns
Jan 20, 2017, 12:02: BHO re-sworn
Jan 20, 2017, 12:03: BHO issues pardon to HRC
Remember, Lynch's job doesn't go away upon inauguration. She must be fired in some way by the new executive. So at noon, she's still AG. Standing there, jingling a set of handcuffs and glaring at HRC as she takes the oath.
The 22nd Amendment states that no person may be ELECTED TO THE OFFICE of the presidency more than twice. It doesn't state that no person may hold the office past ten years. Wanna talk about loopholes? There's one big enough for....well, whatever...to be driven through it. Obama is not constitutionally ineligible to be President after this term, he's simply ineligible to be *ELECTED* to that office.
A second silver lining from BHO's point of view is that he's now unsaddled from having Biden as VP. So long as he doesn't name another one, he doesn't have to have one.
I can see this flying if it's orchestrated right, even with full knowledge aforehand of the whole plot. Too many low-information types out there who'd LOVE to see a 3rd term for that bastard. (I am using language precisely here)
Have a nice day and pass the Rolaids/Tums.
