Who is that going to be though?

I used to type a lot for these, but they constantly come up.

So at this point: AOC

That would be great, but she's too divisive to win.

That's what they said about Obama too...

But the first Black president got elected by flipping lots of red states even when his own party turned against him.

As already pointed out she's not eligible, or maybe is, idk. She would be 35 by inauguration.

My ticket would be her, Bernie, and Ron Wyden somewhere in the mix so the u.s. could get some decent privacy laws.

or maybe is, idk

She literally is...

Like, it's not an opinion thing, she's literally old enough to be our next president...

Am I missing something?

| Born | October 13, 1989 (age 35)

be at least 35 years old

be at least 35 years old

Right...

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S1-C5-1/ALDE_00013692/

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.

You have to be 35 to be president...

AOC will be 35 before the next president assumes office...

She's not 35 is she?

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I believe she will be in time to take office, which is the requirement.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People have been bringing her up for years, but she is still not eligible. The president must be 35.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

She was born in October.

You have to be 35 to assume office in January, not run for election.
