The question I have is why are felony convictions not considered a disqualification for president but they disqualify everyone else from literally almost any job? I knew someone who got a conviction and was hired by chik fil a then later told whoops we missed that on your application sorry can’t hire you.

So you can’t weaponize the courts against your political opponents.

  I do not buy this one bit. I accept that it’s given as a rationale but the only result of it is leaders being above the law and being held to a lower standard than anyone else.

    How does it result in that?
    
    Being eligible to run for president is not a factor in someone being perused for justice.

    … did you read the comments above? We’re discussing whether or not we should prevent criminals from running for office. When the answer is “no”, that allows criminals to get into office. I cannot get a job at Piggly fucking Wiggly if I am a felon.

Right? If the democrats wanted trump out they could have killed him.

Presidents have immunity now.
