    Look, I’m all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I’m not thinking the next step here is to “recently convicted felon”. Maybe try for a woman as president first?

    Just saying.

      There’s a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on “first felon president.”

      • First Woman President

      • First Openly Gay President

      • First Asian/Pacific Islander President

      • First Albino President

      • First Teenage President

      • First Werewolf President

      • First Teenage Werewolf President

      • First Robot President

      • First Robot Teenage Werewolf President

      • First Normal President

      We could go on and on too.

          I’m expecting a response in relation as to why i chose a cult.

          This reminds me of one of those furries who always has to interject in any role playing situation that they’re furries and their character is a furry despite nobody in the gaming session actually asking or encouraging that person.

      Yknow there’s a strong argument to be made had Hillary won, she would have been circumventing the 2 term rule

          Oh cmon. If Bill hadn’t married her, he’d be a retired lawyer in Little Rock today. Any other first ladies end up Secretary of State in another administration a decade later?

            Is there more to the argument because it looks like you’re kinda jumping from “she became secretary of state” to “she would’ve been 3 term”. She was qualified to be president despite Bill.

        Under the same logic, wouldn’t Biden also be ineligible because he was also in the white house (as vp) for 8 years?
