9. What standard do you apply?

for a President to earn your vote.

That's the point. I know the constitution. There is no need to explain it to me. You can hire anyone as an employee if you're a manger of a company, but what standard do you apply in hiring?

One of the reasons I left the USA to reside in a foreign country is because 100 million people (75 million voters) think electing Trump is a good idea. I get it. I can't live among that many racists. The Philippines is not perfect, but they don't shoot their children in school, and I haven't encountered any racism or racist comment in two years here. In America, I never went a day without hearing a racist comment. I'm inter-racially married (Filipina). I get it. I know the constitution allows Trump to run; and OJ and that hateful shooter who was just convicted in Pittsburgh (until he's executed). But, as a voter, I may find their legal problems disqualifying for my vote (I still have US citizenship, a legal residence and vote by absentee ballot. I still pay taxes in the US. "No Taxation Without Representation&quot .
