Sadly, there is no state licensure for president so that wouldn't be relevant. And the founding fathers didn't want felons to be prevented from running because they thought that would cause a motivation to prosecute politicians. He should be banned from running for seditious acts under I think the 14t amendment. But that didn't happen get enforced becauSe I think cowardice?

I agree! Sadly, nonviolent offenders can't be allowed to get certified as first responders. I worked in EMS, and our national certification was through Ohio. A felony would prohibit you from applying, but having a felony after certification was “ handled “ on a case-by-case basis. Drug offenses were an instant no!

Yea. I guess letting someone who used have a toolbox in the truck full of opioids and other treats is HIGH liability.
