    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Venezuela#Requirements

    According to articles 227 and 229 of the Constitution of Venezuela, adopted in 1999, the following requirements must be met in order to become President of Venezuela:

    • Being a Venezuelan citizen from birth and possessing no other nationality.
    • Being at least 30 years old at the time of the election.
    • Not being a subject to any conviction by final judgment.
    • Not being a Minister, governor, mayor, or the vice president of the Republic from the day the candidacy is announced to the day of the election.

    Donald Trump doesn’t meet the constitutional requirements to be President of Venezuela.

    He also doesn’t meet the constitutional requirements to be President of the United States, though, so nothing new here.

      You don’t understand the way these Sociopathic Oligarchs are viewing the future. They don’t see themselves as being a member of a sovereign nation, they believe they should have their own sovereign territory, where they can rule under any system of government that they choose, including being just a plain old KING.

      So when he makes Venezuela his own, he will replace whatever cockamamie Constitution they’ve been using, with his own whims.

      Hey, we don’t know he wasn’t born there for sure, right? I want to see his long-firm girth certificate!

      He wants to be president of Venezuela? Sure! Let’s deport him there 👍

          It can’t be seen without the use of a tunneling electron microscope, and an extremely powerful one, at that.

            No need to infer. Stormy Daniels slept with him and wrote about it:

            “He knows he has an unusual penis,” Daniels writes. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool … I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart … It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion.”

      Donald Trump doesn’t meet the laws of nature to be a human being. The it is literally the Anti-Christ.

      He also doesn’t meet the constitutional requirements to be President of the United States,

      Oh shiz, I’m intrigued. What in the constitution of the United States does he violate regarding being the president?

        This is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment:

        No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

        It doesn’t require that he be convicted of anything related to an insurrection, only that he had engaged in one, which automatically gives him a disability against holding any office. Since Trump incited the insurrection, and refused to call for the National Guard to protect the houses of Congress, I think it would be a huge stretch to say that he didn’t engage in the insurrection.

        Another part of the Amendment gives Congress the power to enforce the Amendment, and that is something that Congress chose not to do. That’s why Trump hasn’t been stopped from being president.

        But choosing not to enforce a law doesn’t mean that it is legal to break the law.

          You could add the fact he says he was elected 3 times which isn’t legal, it’s phrased as elected twice makes you ineligible to hold office on a third election. Doesn’t say anything about actually taking or holding office.

          There is no reason a person with felony convictions can’t be president.

            I’m thinking that should probably be added into the constitution after this…
