    … Because someone who was convicted of multiple felonies is currently the President of the United States of America. It was a social commentary on how things such as being a felon seem to no longer matter when disqualifying a Presidential candidate, and questioning why being a non natural born citizen would also disqualify a Presidential candidate

      The “…” feels a little patronizing.

      I don’t know why you’re equating feeling convictions and not being born in the US as disqualifiers for presidency. Felon status has never been a disqualifier.

      Please be nicer

        I know you’re discussing what the actual laws on the books are, but I think the sentiment is that if felons aren’t allowed to vote why is it acceptable for them to run for office, especially for the highest office in the country.
