If, as the above poster said, it's a rule/law shouldn't they be disallowed from running for president? By breaking a law that is.
Edit: (can't reply to dogma thread too long?).
Damn. I can sort of understand why, but how isn't this sort of law breaking being pushed by everyone else running for president. I would be pointing it out!
- dogma1138 11y agoThere are no restrictions that prevent convicted felons from running to president. A small pro tip if you can't reply, click reply to any comment and just edit the post id to the one of the comment you want to reply too in the URL.

- marcoperaza 11y agoThe Republicans have been attacking her over it, but they're largely focused on the primaries and Donald Trump right now. Bernie decided not to attack her over the issue at the first Democratic Party debate last year. It was honestly a smart move on his part. He wants to win the primary, but he wants his side to win even if he does not. In the general election campaign, Hillary will now be more convincing when she says it's just a Republican witch hunt (see "vast right-wing conspiracy" from her time as FLOTUS). In the unlikely scenario that she's actually indicted for a crime, she'd probably be politically forced to drop out of the race, but who knows.
