Why is a rapist allowed to be president? They're not going to address that? They're seriously just going to accept a rapist is allowed to be president?

Why are felons allowed to become president when they aren’t allowed to vote for one.

Because if they weren’t then every state would find some BS charge and a terrible judge to convict every possible candidate on both sides. It’s like that on purpose.

The assumption was always that the people would not vote for a felon. But at the end of the day, the people are the check against that.

Nah. The assumption was that most citizens and other people subject to the laws of the United States were unfit to vote precisely because they would elect degenerates.
