I was thiking that if someone announced their run for President by saying they would Pardon Luigi Mangione and anyone else who killed someone worth more than a billion dollars, I'd get on that bandwagon pretty fast.
Or if democrats continue to be useless wasting their time on identity politics all the time. How they sat on their ass for 4 years and allowed a criminal to win over them whilst spending so much time diluting every problem to be race or gender is beyond me.
You only have to be 35 to be president. There's no age requirement to run for president. I have no idea what would happen if someone under 35 won the election but couldn't take office.
(1) you don’t have to be charged with a crime to be pardoned; (2) correct, no one is above the law. Hunter was convicted on several counts by a jury of his peers; (3) Hunter isn’t going to be president in January.
"At sentencing, Hunter Biden faces a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors."

Be a real baller move if Biden just pardoned the guy on his way out. Send one hell of a message.
Vrh101
He would win the election
malbec
thespaceneedle
He has to first appoint a bunch of corrupt judges THEN run for president

Rubyrose99
His name is Luigi Mangione.
oldradios19772000
He would absolutely be a better president than the pile of human waste that's about to take over
Venusflytripp
He could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, okay, and he wouldn't lose any voters, okay?
bazzaretta
Luigi was only campaigning.

As painful as that is to hear, it's true. And the US is now an oligarchy because of it. Welcome to mother Russia.

Don't you have to be 35 to run for President?
paynoattentiontousernames
And backed by a billionaire
p7zjnq9gei9000
To be elected.
isthatyoujohnwayne
70 you say?
emu314159127001
Serve, so you'd have to have a birthday before inauguration.
lovingspace
But if you are president the laws don't apply to you. So... checkmate.
WhyWeDoThis
If you are popular enough, GOP can change all rules for you.
RootMeanSqr
That's only for the poors.
doobiedoobop
Why can't someone under 35 run!? Political witchunt! So unfair! Nobody has ever been treated so poorly in all political history!

ipscfuntime3
That's a dumb ass law.
terajack2048
It should be over 35 and under 60
brownribbon
Yes, he’ll be able to run in the 2036 election.
KirchoffsVoltageLaw
Register early!

You also can't run for president if you participate in an insurrection but, ya know, fuck the rules
onetimepost9
Yeah F those rules good
BusterWinkmeyer
I think I it was a convicted felon, do yeah same thing
SomeDetroitGuy
You are incorrect. They were correct.
mushroomking
How can you even tell what they said lol
Az663
It seemed to me that you have to be above 70. ;>
darkninja2992
Obama was 47 when he was elected. We need more of that
Flareside
Only if you're white...
rukeman
Are you talking about IQ? The orange asshole barely registers anything.

The other one's brain shutting down, too.

You also can only be president for 2 terms, but there is 0 chance trump doesn't run in 2028.
AmoAmasAmant
I disagree. There's a non zero chance that he'll be dead by then. Surely his health will give out at some point
jnoahj
I fail to see how that stops the party from running him since he was effectively braindead this time, but I suppose hope springs eternal
Muffyns
You're not having another election. You have a government for billionaires by billionaires only billionaires will have the right to vote
TheAngriestBeardman
Like they already do?
autocorrectfailures
Only works if you're already a member of the ruling class.
AlienJeffries81
Fucker is.
KirchoffsVoltageLaw
I think they mean THE ruling class. Not just upper middle class but "immune from consequences rich".
wandermanspacebot
A family that owns country clubs and radio stations is not "upper middle class" holy shit
Az663
KirchoffsVoltageLaw
They're not in the "owns the country" type of rich which is usually what you need to escape responsibilities

Okay? Is that supposed to contradict anything I said? Also, what’s the source you’re quoting?
