Convicted felons

I was thinking about this while smoking a moment ago, and it's pretty fucked up.

Federal law prohibits voting for convicted felons, but there is nothing prohibiting convicted felons from becoming president.


What the fuck is wrong with this picture?

 

i thought that it was actually prerequisite for an american president to be a felon...

 

i was not aware of this fact

 

That's an interesting fact that I will promptly sticky in my brain. Because I'm sure I can throw that one out and blow some minds in the near future.

 

that is odd... ah, loopholes are strange.

 

Considering you can't get jury duty with a previous felony it is not surprizing.

 

If you want to join the discussion, please make some sense.

"Because you can't be on a jury wit ha felony it's not surprising you can be president."

That sentence was completely nonsensical.

 

I am seriously wondering if you can't read?

What I wrote makes sense to me "Considering you can't get jury duty with a previous felony, it is not surprizing"

Maybe I will fill in the blanks for you
Considering you (wont be accepted for) jury duty if you have a felony, it is not surprizing you couldn't become president.

 

My post said there is nothing stopping felons from running for president

It is you who cannot read. They cannot vote for pres, but can run for the job.

 

Yeah, my bad. However, in some states felons can vote.

 

it's really weird:/

 

I didn't realize it was that many, in all honesty. Still messed up that 18 of them don't allow you to, yet you can still qualify as a presidential candidate :&

 

yeah didnt know the amount but knew it was ABOUT half and half.
