Listen I'm all in favor of this plan, but its really unconstiutional. Like we decided 250 years ago this was a bad idea.

Thats why the Articles of Confederation after the revolutionary war failed and we had to rewrite an entirely new constitution.

Yea, and having Trump as president now is unconstitutional, but that seems to be happening.

What do you mean? What part of Trump's election was unconstitutional?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

For starters, the president of the United States once said that a convicted felon winning the election would be a constitutional crisis, and then he proceeded to do that.

So we're listening to Trump's opinions on the constitution now?

According to BBC:

The US Constitution sets out relatively few eligibility requirements for presidential candidates: they must be at least 35, be a “natural born” US citizen and have lived in the US for at least 14 years.

So despite what he thinks on the matter, electing a convicted felon appears to be constitutional.

No, what's wrong with YOU? The felon argument is a shit one. It's important being a felon doesn't bar you from running so shit bags like Trump can't just make all their opposition into felons and pretend it's legal.

It's in the constitution. I suggest you read it sometime. You can't make shit up like trump and expect to be right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, you should try reading it. There's literally only one crime that blocks you from running for office and not just being convicted of a felony. I'd rather have it that way.

14th amendment.

He's also not capable of running if he legitimately believes he's won two elections already.
