wait, so, he’s actually going to face consequences? or is he getting reelected?
Can’t reelect a convicted felon outside of the US, so no, he’s going to prison. Potentially reduced to house arrest when he makes it to 85. If, that is.
Convicted felons should be allowed to be elected. Take Nelson Mandela for example. There are many times a suppresive regime will imprison someone, that shouldn’t exclude them from office.
Also, lots of countries allow people convicted to run.
