  Unfortunately the constitution prohibits him from ever becoming president, since he was born outside the US.

    The constitution didn’t prevent a felon and rapist from becoming a president. I say the constitution is dead and needs to be replaced by one in where socialism is prevalent.

      Yeah, count me in on that. The current constitution disallows non natural-born US citizens for life while not explicitly disallowing candidates with a criminal record in any way (except 14th amendment section 3 but thats very narrow). Make it make sense. But this will be a huge obstacle in practice nonetheless.

        They did that so you don’t have political opponents using the courts to make up some random charges against their opponents. It makes perfect sense. The people failed and voted for the grand ol pedophile…the constitution didn’t make them.

        Not if a certain orange is held at gunpoint.
