  This makes sense. HOWEVER. That’s not really what’s happening here now, is it?

    You can be upset, that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to outlaw running for president as a criminal. Russia exists as a case study.

    It’s a problem because it’s not just Trump, it’s whole party that has gone way off the rails. Bundy could run but he wouldn’t win.

    There’s only like 3 rules to becoming president and one is age and other is being an american. The bar is intentionally low.

      Well, one of the rules is not committing treason or sedition and yet we’re still here, so that shows you how useful rules are

        not really

        The Constitution lists only three qualifications for the Presidency — the President must be at least 35 years of age, be a natural born citizen, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.

  Is it incredibly easy to charge people with felonies?

    Yes actually. There’s a book called three felonies a day all about that.
