It blows my mind that there are no legal blocks in place to prevent this (yeah, I know it’s because this shit was so unthinkable that nobody prepared for it). This yahoo is on a mission to destroy EVERYTHING America was supposed to stand for. SOMETHING has to be done to stop this shit!

      Can’t wait to hear the explanation for the “unconstitutional” claim.

        Show me in the Constitution any mention of the FBI as a requirement for any position of the executive branch.

          That’s not how the constitution works

          Which part would make a law requiring FBI checks to hold office illegal? If there isnt one then it’s not unconstitutional

            Well because the constitution explicitly defines the requirements of the office, in full. Congress making up additional requirements that are not amendments to the constitution would be violating the separation of powers, essentially it would allow congress with a simple majority to deny the Executive Branch it’s constitutional powers.

              Does it say ‘these are the only requirements?’ Or does it say ‘these things are required?’

              Necessary and sufficient are not interchangeable.

                So you would be totally ok if congress passed a law that said basically only a specific person is eligible to be president? “All future presidents must be born on August 2, 1984, in Middletown, Ohio, and must be a member of the Republican party.”

                After all that wouldn’t be unconstitutional to you would it?
