Because rules and laws stopped him before
Yes, they did. He’s not in office right now because of those rules and laws
They stopped some of his bullshit, but they also failed to stop a lot of it. If he's allowed to run for president again, that will be a huge example of rules not stopping him.
This is where states rights are again shown to be fucked. States rights to include insurrectionists on the ballot this time.
I may argue he's not in office because the coup attempt didn't succeed.
Though maybe that's just me.
He did a lot of illegal things that got overturned. But the problem is while it's being overturned it can still do a lot of damage.
Huh? How is that why he's not in office? I would say that, in spite of all those things, he still received the second highest vote count in presidential election history.
He just happened to lose to the person who got the highest.
