We don’t have a healthcare system in the US, we have an insurance racket.

      Can’t we just annul the primaries and make it AOC/Omar 2024?

          Can’t elect competent accomplished geniuses because they’re young, but can elect near-death dementia patients.

          Not saying AOC’s a genius, just that there are no qualifiers where a young person can lead the generation that will have to live with their consequences.

          She was born October 13th, 1989. That means she’ll be 35 by the time of the election in November, not to mention before the inauguration in January (the date that actually matters). So, she’s definitely eligible.

                  No he’s right actually, you just have to be 35 to be president, not to get elected president. If AOC were the nominee and she won, she would definitely be president!

                    Her birthday is in late October. She’ll barely be 35 by the point of the election in November, but she will still be 35. So, she’d be 35 both when elected, and when inaugurated. It’s a non-issue.

              The text of the constitution only mentions being 35 “to serve”. Nothing at all about that having to be true during the election.

                But regardless: she’ll be 35 by the point of the election anyway so it’s a non-issue to begin with.

          She’ll be 35 by the time of her inauguration, which makes her eligible.

            Viking specifically put 2024 in his comment.

              And her 35th birthday is in October, making her eligible.

      This might be the only election I’ll actually vote in.
