Was the voting age 18 in 1948, or 21 years? If 21, he would have had to have been born in 1927; if 18 years, he could have been born in 1930 and voted for Truman (for President, that is.).

He would not have been able to vote for Truman. My father was born about eight months before him, and also in New York City. The voting age was 21, which means that the first election he would have been able to vote in was the 1956 election. Having been born in December, this guy would not have been 21 in November 1954. I promise you that he voted for Adlai Stevenson, not Ike, despite the fact that Ike had ended the Korean war, and that we were in the midst of the greatest period of prosperity in our history up to that time.

I can only hope that if he rules against the Maduro indictment on some kind of constitutional grounds, then he will be overruled by the appeals court. Maduro was not recognized as the head of Venezuela by any western nation, only by China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, and Iran, because he had so blatantly stolen an election that went against him by a very large margin. He was illegally occupying the Venezuelan presidential palace, while engaging in his chosen profession of narco terrorist.
