    I’m fairly sure a traitor who engaged in an insurrection is forbidden from being president. I don’t care to look it up honestly, because I’d rather not be even more depressed by finding that this tidbit is me thinking wishfully and not a fact I heard at some point.

    Thanks for calling me a moron though.

      George Washington was a traitor who engaged in an insurrection.

      I’m not comparing Trump to George Washington, but I’m pointing out why the American Constitution doesn’t really have a developed concept of treason or any broad exclusions to eligibility for the presidency. The election itself is the qualification.

      I didn’t call you shit.
