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 β€œbridge” to the next generation in 2020. But did he ever commit to one term in office?
