In reply to the discussion: Shouldn't all people running for president or any high level office be required to pass a top [View all]jmowreader
(53,413 posts)25. Other constitutional clauses have been extended
Until 1995 a person who wanted to exercise his freedom of speech by being a disc jockey at a small radio station needed an FCC radiotelephone operators license. Big stations that had an engineer to run the transmitter didnt require licensed DJs, but in stations where the announcers workstation and the transmitter control panel were operated by one person, it was.
Given that, once the full scope of Trumps treason is revealed the Republicans will probably work with us to establish some common sense rules within the Constitution, like the presidency cant be your first elected office and you have to pass a security clearance investigation to run.

The secret service didn't declare Biden a risk and that is who I think should be making these

Bearing in mind, "biased" newspapers have existed since the US was established.

If I could amend the Constitution, THIS would be my additional requirement to run for POTUS
