It shouldn't be controversial to say that felons and adjudicated rapists shouldn't be eligible to run for president. The system that allows them to is broken. If it weren't the future leader of your own country those charges applied to, I think it would be a little easier to look at this objectively.

Most people throughout the free world look toward America and are shocked it's not a given that felons are disqualified to be president. The truth is, in congressional and gubernatorial elections, they aren't even allowed to run. The founding fathers made sure felons couldn't hold those offices. They just didn't have the forethought to realize we'd ever be so dense as a nation as to run a felon for president, let alone elect him. Unbiased juries convicted him of his crimes and the allegations against him aren't something that can be fairly dismissed as a political witch hunt.
