Summary

Missouri state Representative Michael Davis has introduced the “Donald J. Trump Election Qualification Act,” a bill allowing individuals convicted of felonies to run for public office if otherwise qualified.

The legislation, named after Donald Trump, seeks to repeal a 2015 state law barring felons from candidacy in local or statewide elections.

Davis argues the law should align with Trump’s election as president despite his 34 felony convictions in New York.

He advocates for reintegration of felons into society, emphasizing their rights as citizens to participate in government and elections.

      Apparently all you need to do to evade prison is make an earnest run at being President. Let’s make a Super PAC and get the ball rolling, we’ve got a real American patriot to save.
