I'm interested to see what lemmy thinks of this, I honestly haven't kept track of the potential options.

Quick question, serious question.......can we make Zelenskyy a dual citizen, dual president? I'd be good with that.

One presidency is more than a full-time job. Whilst I do like him cut the poor guy some slack.

Dude's got more than enough on his plate, but maybe we could find an American comedian who plays piano with his dick

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Even if he were a natural born citizen, he'd have to live in the US for 14 years first to be eligible.

We could us the Republican style of argument that "years" had a different meaning in the founding father's era as people died a lot sooner. Therefore "a year" was only the length of what we call "a day" now.
