I’m interested to see what lemmy thinks of this, I honestly haven’t kept track of the potential options.

    Quick question, serious question…can we make Zelenskyy a dual citizen, dual president? I’d be good with that.

      One presidency is more than a full-time job. Whilst I do like him cut the poor guy some slack.

      Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

      No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

      Even if he were a natural born citizen, he’d have to live in the US for 14 years first to be eligible.

        We could us the Republican style of argument that “years” had a different meaning in the founding father’s era as people died a lot sooner. Therefore “a year” was only the length of what we call “a day” now.
