    In the US at least, the constitutional requirements for being elected to the presidency do not prevent felons from being elected, and there are good arguments for this. A weaponized judicial system can be used to oust or prevent political opponents from gaining the presidency.

      Yeah, we’re just supposed to have an informed populace and a functioning electoral college to prevent the actual bad criminals from taking control.
