Yeah good luck to southeast states during hurricane season and Texas during Ted Cruz Cancun season

They should make the dodging and parying soulslike. They really wanted parying to be used in rebirth but it feels so bad.

I was not familiar with this historical fact, thanks for the info! That’s definitely a good example of why it shouldn’t bar someone outright.

12 peers can be coerced. If he still runs the rest of the country should be sufficient to not vote for him if he is undeserving of being elected. In theory it should be more difficult just by way of having more scrutiny into the type of person he is to the voters.

And they should again.

But a government that potentially is nefariously attempting to block a candidate shouldn’t be able to bar someone from being elected.

eg. An English loyalist blocks George Washington from being president by fraudulently getting him convicted of a felony; is that a reasonable thing we should have codified in the Constitution?

Do I want trump to be elected? Hell no. I also don’t feel like we should go down the road where a political opponent can block someone from running illegitimately, either.

Possibly, but why allow the possibility in the first place? The idea was that the voters and electors would ultimately decide

So, let’s say a political party is somehow at fault for charging and getting a verdict of an opponent. This would make it very easy to block anyone from running against the party in power if they so choose.

The founding fathers saw how much of an issue this would be so limited the reasons for blocking someone from running for office. I don’t think hush money is a good reason (though, doing so to block info that would make him lose an election I think should be but that will be up to the court)
