When I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to run for Student Council because I had a C on my report card, but Donald Trump is still allowed to run for president even if he's convicted of a felony.

@ClevelandRock well right, and the example of trying to influence the makeup of Student Council like that is exactly why we don't have such tests for running for president.
We let voters decide who they'd like to head the executive branch, even if that choice might not reflect the preferences of some powerful council who'd otherwise gatekeep.
@volkris I don't think there should be a special council deciding who should be allowed to run. I just think there should be a law against running for president from prison.
::shrug:: if the people want to elect a prisoner, well, yay democracy.
