Can Trump still run for president now that he's a convicted felon?
If so, then why?
You're viewing a single thread.
Yep, cause the constitution doesn’t forbid felons from running for president.
It forbids them from ever voting again though.
The Constitution doesn't do that, that's up to the states. Also, you don't have to be eligible to vote to be the president. The US Constitution outlines the only eligibility requirements for the president.
So...in theory a state could ban all its constituents from voting for presidency?
The fourteenth amendment would probably bar this, but it’s never been tried.
