If so, then why?
Yep, cause the constitution doesn’t forbid felons from running for president.
It forbids them from ever voting again though.
The Constitution doesn’t do that, that’s up to the states. Also, you don’t have to be eligible to vote to be the president. The US Constitution outlines the only eligibility requirements for the president.
So…in theory a state could ban all its constituents from voting for presidency?
He can, because there’s no law against it. Probably nobody thought there’d ever need to be!
As an outsider that’s pretty wild. So you can’t buy a firearm but you can be president and control them all. Like what?
Actually the thought is if the government can just imprison you to stop your candidacy, they have too much power.
Thus they can continue to run.
If a convicted felon loses their right to vote, they should not be allowed to run for president.
They would make protesting Israel a felony so fucking fast
