The New York judge who oversaw President-elect Donald J. Trump’s hush-money trial scheduled his sentencing for Jan. 10. Mr. Trump is expected to appeal his conviction.
But a person doesn’t magically stop being president just because they are in prison.
Do do we just have a prisoner that hapoens to be president?
What if this prisoner/president just orders the military to break him out?
Yea this doesn’t work, any attempt to imprison a president will lead to an invocation of the insurrection act and martial law, and trump would declare anyone who tries to imprison him an enemy and order for their arrest. And if in prison, the military will get him out. (remember, the military leans right wing, most of the military voted trump)
That’s why the judge is saying it’s “impractical”. Its not necessarily the judge being a bootlicker, the judge just knows its futile.
In a perfect world where laws actually apply to everyone equally, this person wouldn’t be president to begin with. The fact that you’re talking about a prisoner being president is insane in and of itself. Dude should’ve been banned from running/impeached whenever a conviction happened. End of story. You’re a felon, nope, you can’t run. You can’t even reach the white house.
