This is my repost of my previous post here. My question WASN’T actually clear enough, so I had to add “United States presidential” to the title. That said, I’ll start by saying I’d vote for Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear.

    Yeah, count me in on that. The current constitution disallows non natural-born US citizens for life while not disallowing candidates with a criminal record in any way (except 14th amendment section 3 but thats very narrow). Make it make sense. But this will be a huge obstacle in practice nonetheless.

      They did that so you don’t have political opponents using the courts to make up some random charges against their opponents. It makes perfect sense. The people failed and voted for the grand ol pedophile…the constitution didn’t make them.

      Not if a certain orange is held at gunpoint and shown the correspondence evidence he’s trying to destroy. For legal purposes, not that I condone it or anything.
