Well after reading any article in my morning paper, it seems Manning’s Felony Convictions are not a bar to running for the U.S. Senate. Although at the local and state level they would be.
Has anyone with a previous felony conviction ever been elected to a Federal office, like the Senate or House????????
Alcee Hastings (D) Florida was impeached and removed from his judgeship for bribery, and was subsequently elected to the House, where he sits to this day.
