The loophole will be close so a democratic president won't be able to use it.
This artist chick I know is a good friend of mine and 70-something years old and in 2015 I asked her who she thought would win the next election. She said the Democrats won't win the next election, I asked why, she said because Republicans cheat and the cycle is term terms for each parties POTUS. I had my doubts at the time but it turns out she was right.
When Mitch McConnell has no consequences for breaking the rules and denying Obama his Supreme Court pick then, literally, there's no glue holding the congress together. Whoever controls the Senate controls all of the government.
There was no Senate majority leader position in Congress until 1920 and since then everything in Congress has slowly gone to shit.
