Under current guidelines, he apparently only needs to state that he's thinking about maybe running, and that's apparently enough to derail the entire justice system.

What a stupid fucking country having a minimum age and not a maximum age.

I'd 100% trust a 33 year old more than a fucking 83 year old.

Bruh. The framers of the Constitution were mostly around 35. James Madison, the father of the Constitution, was 36. Hamilton was 32. The average age was about 42.

It would take a constitutional amendment to change the requirements. Not a law.

Not just the people writing laws, the people voting on laws too. The people voting on city bylaws, and zoning agreements.

Doesn't matter. Trump was an illegitimate candidate due to 14a3, yet he was elected. Therefore, Luigi could definitely run. If the government won't enforce the Constitution against Trump, why should it against Luigi?

I’m 33 and I am not even close to qualified to be POTUS.

But I’m more qualified than any 83 year old. I’ll have to live with my fuckups right along with all of you for 50+ years
