Trump was just indicted for trying to steal the 2020 election
Former President Donald Trump was indicted for an unprecedented third time on August 1, adding another set of serious federal charges to the mounting legal issues he faces.
You're viewing a single thread.
yeah and only in our wonderful country this schmuck is allowed to run for office from jail. I thought you can't run for president after ur third indictment which he certainly has.
There's nothing in the Constitution that says you can't run from prison (Eugene V. Debs did it in 1920), and it also says nothing about three indictments.
Which is some shit lol
Yeah, I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that's how it is.
i must. of read something wrong cause I was always under the impression that you can't run for president if indicted or convicted for a crime
Nope. Not in the Constitution.
that thing needs a seriously extensive overhaul
For some reason the founding fathers didn't anticipate that someone running from prison could ever become president. To be fair, before this fuckin clown, nobody else did either.
lol it was one of those things that was just assumed by the general population that was never gonna happen so why worry about putting laws in place to prevent it. I think it's safe to assume that we need to put laws into to. prevent this from happening before 2027
Incorrect. There was one other, technically, and they got a sizeable amount of votes considering they were incarcerated at the time — not enough to win or even skew the election numbers, but still. It happened.
