Hey, US person here and... yeah, unfortunately, he can. -_- Our Constitution only prohibits a candidate on age (must be at least 35 years old) and nationality (must be a natural born US citizen as well as live in the country for 14 or more years). Other than that... There are certain other things that might disqualify someone (such as being convicted of leaking classified information or committing treason or something) but, as you may well know, Trump is still being prosecuted for those claims with no verdict in sight. The 34 felony count he was convicted of today were all about falsifying his own records which, unfortunately, do not disqualify him... yet. However, just the fact that he is now an undoubtedly convicted felon may be enough to give even the GOP pause. Or embolden them further, who knows? Either way, we're not out of the woods yet.
"average president is convicted of .74 felonies" factoid actualy just statistical error. average president is convicted of 0 felonies. Felonies Georg, who lives in Mar-a-Lago & was convicted of 34 felonies, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
#us politics#current events#I did a lot of reading up on this today actually#for obvious reasons lol#I saw some allusions made to certain things that might disqualify him?#such as convicted felons not being able to own firearms#and considering the president is officially the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces#the fact he can't own a gun might be some sort of ground for disqualification#but it's all a bit muddy rn#I'm sure we'll be hearing from legal experts in the coming days about what might happen#so yeah stay tuned for the soap opera that continues to be American politics 😫#maybe one day we can stop embarrassing ourselves on a global level >_<
