Why is this humor? I feel its exactly how they felt. Otherwise, they would have put in the constitution that presidents are not immune to laws of the United States at any time in office. No matter what.

They also didn’t give rights to woman and the poor. Also didn’t stop slavery. They were flawed men from their time that made a flawed constitution. It must evolve and be better for today’s time.

You used to have to be a great guy to run for president and not get laughed at.

The nomination of Trump is fully on the Republican Party and none of us should EVER forget what they have subjected us too.

Back then I don’t believe there were elections like there are presidents were elected differently
Those rich and powerful guys did the picking
I think there may have been a guy who won a duel ( I.e. murder) almost was elected

If there was an ex-convict that legit turned their life around and maybe was perhaps championing a cause like reforming the police state or tackling mass incarceration or whathaveyou, I think they should have the right to hold the presidency, and I’d probably vote for them.
But this asshole lunatic is a traitorous scum that deserves the treason penalty imho.

No, it’s so one singular corrupt state couldn’t try and comvict on a trumped up charge and subvert the entire election.
I’m not arguing on behalf of the donvict I’m just pointing out why a convict can run.

I disagree. Many civil rights leaders had criminal records and even felonies. I would hope they were aware that to enshrine that rule would invite powerful governments to weaponize the legal system against political opponents, as is often done in authoritarian countries that seek to maintain a facade of democracy.
Like Russia. Putin-up some sort of ambiguous corruption charge against a popular political opponent, and suddenly they’re disqualified from running against you, and you get to deny all involvement and claim your ersatz democratic win where you miraculously get 87.8% of the vote.
