Now, even the most preeminent legal scholars were seriously discussing its feasibility.
This, in turn, created a public delusion: that this could actually happen.
The online revelry spiraled completely out of control.
The top trending topic on X was: #LeoForVP.
The younger voters couldn't care less about constitutional amendments. They only cared about the thrill of breaking the rules.
Meme after meme went viral online.
One was a photo of a bleeding Leo with the caption: "He bled, and you're still talking about age?"
Another was a picture of the United States Constitution, photoshopped with an "obsolete" stamp and captioned: "If the rules are in Leo's way, then change the rules!"
On TikTok, countless young people posted videos mimicking Leo's speech gestures, set to the tune of rousing rock music.
They shouted, "We want Leo! We want the future!"
On this day, the name Leo Wallace completely transcended the narrow definition of Mayor of Pittsburgh.
He had become a symbol.
