A fairly good point!
It just proves that ANYBODY residing in the USA (after, say, a 'tokenistic'-adminstrative period of 3 months or so) SHOULD have the right to stand for president, and that 'criminal records' should have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it. But, having said that, in the REAL WORLD of course, if you want to stand for president you have to be WELL-MONIED, and, more than that, you need to have CONNECTIONS with either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. Period. Hence the failure of the monstrously reactionary BILLIONAIRE Russ Perot (regretably, FZ made overtures to such a monster), because he couldn't cut the the mustard - too much of an 'outsider' (as Hitler was of course, for a certain period).
Boy, is the system sowed-up or what ...

Well, I just read, -and have read before-, that the only thing that

immigrant, and all-, a clean slate; or that you've never "done time"?
..If you can run while having done time behind bars, it's rather weird
system; since you (AFAIK) cannot join the Army if you've ever done time,
and why can you then _control_ the Armed Forces (as prez.), while having
done time?
A rant, but still a thought..
