So, for an European who hasn't been following this: criminal conviction does not bar him from running for president?

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 40 points 5 months ago (8 children)

The U.S. Constitution sets out three eligibility requirements for the presidency:

  1. The person must be a natural-born citizen of the United States

  2. At least 35 years old

  3. A resident of the United States for at least 14 years.

There are no restrictions regarding criminal records.

As a convicted felon and resident of Florida, though...he shouldn't be allowed to vote. How could you rub for an office you can't vote for?

Not allowing convicts to vote is itself ridiculous tbh

I don't disagree, but thems the ropes.

Wouldn't it be fucking great if he tries to go and vote live on OAN or some shit, and some smug poll worker gets to tell him he can't vote because he's a convicted felon.

Oh man. That'd be better than winning the lottery.
