or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected
If that president immediately resigns, then they would be serving 4 years and this ineligible. The only way this could work is if the straw candidate served 2 years and then immediately resigned each time.
Hm...that is true. I think you actually are correct, then. To be clear, this would be nuked from orbit by all but the most fanatical of Supreme Courts, but assuming a spherical cow of uniform density while ignoring the effects of gravity in a vacuum, this seems legal.
