Americanswers! VP picks, Nikki Haley's back, and could Trump do three terms?

We answer your questions on the biggest issues in the run-up to the election.

Americanswers is back and this week we take a look at presidential term limits. Joe Biden once said he wanted to be viewed as a 鈥渂ridge鈥 to the next generation in 2020. But did he ever commit to one term in office?

Meanwhile, Donald Trump once praised Chinese President Xi Jinping for getting rid of their two-term limits. The team assesses whether Trump would have the ability to follow suit.

And, social media algorithms are powerful. How do you leave your own echo chamber in an election year?
