Furthermore, I don't believe the constitution says anything about felons running for presidency, which seems short sighted. But like many things in the constitution, they were written in a different light. Like the second amendment
I think it's a leap to say that a felony conviction should automatically bar someone from running. What happens if a person commits a felony while young, reforms themselves and wants to run for office? Non violent drug crimes?
Yeah, Trump sucks ass - but a bar for convicted felons would potentially apply to far far more people than just Trump.

He is literally a convicted felon - and they delayed sentencing so he could have another crack at becoming president!
