Here is an interesting concept. Let’s say he is sentenced but any punishment is set aside. But in reality he is a convicted felon. Now, as president of the united states and a convicted felon, how would he be able to proceed as a felon and not have access to the nuclear football since it is a weapon and be a violation of the law. I guarantee if he is convicted, the left will bring that concern to the front and say because of that, he is ineligible to be president.
I don’t care what the left says. They will b!tch and moan no matter what.
It sounds like if the Lefties go that route, it’d be stretching things reeeeeeally hard.
The Left will try. Those who hate this country ALWAYS try to bring down those who love it.
In our system, the President of the United States is the Commander-in-Chief and the ultimate classification authority. It is HE who chooses who gains access. He does not report to clerks.
Once he appeals, this conviction will never stand up.
Remember that look that JD gave the audience when Timmy said he was friends with school shooters?
True but until that happens, would he be in violation of possession by prohibited person?
It sounds like if the Lefties go that route, it’d be stretching things reeeeeeally hard.

That’s what the Left always does. Situation normal for them.
And that’s why they’re called radicals. No respect for traditions, laws or customs.
The POTUS has the ultimate authority over everything and anything classified. Provided he is sworn in, it's game over for your theory.
Once sworn in, he technically could release every page of classified material that exists and deem it unclassified. He has the authority to do that.
It's not a firearm. Only firearms are restricted to Prohibited Persons. Nuclear weapons are not covered.
Yes it would be considered as ammunition or an explosive device which is prohibited.
Trump DOJ could arrest the judge for election interference and then clear the record.
What does any of that have to do with what I posted.
At worst, he wouldn’t be allowed to carry the football in NYS. But let them try to enforce it.
The term "ammunition" is generally considered to be that which applies to small arms.
As far as explosive device, following this logic, then every President would need to pay a 200 dollar tax for every nuclear device under their control, and would have to wait for the BATFE to clear them.
There's plenty to worry about. This is not one of the issues.
Everybody knows where the booze is.
Made up laws enforced at whim, laws which permit no contradictory evidence by a hack judge, serve only to show the world that the US is lawless.
Read the Constitution and tell me where it says anything in regard to eligibility to be president other than age, citizenship, and residing in the USA for 14 years.
Take off the concern troll glasses.
I’m still of the opinion there is a reasonable chance that the left’s playbook will be to throw Trump an unexpected sentence on the 10th, and then Trump will either be a prisoner or a fugitive. Biden/Kamala will then use that as an excuse to cancel the inauguration. They would need to have the support of woke generals lined up behind-the-scenes, but is that so far-fetched?
It could happen. Leftist clowns will destroy any institution, make any bad precedent, or even humiliate themselves for the sake of a short-term political narrative
But the reality and consequences are often far different than they (or we) imagine.
Devil is just mad and bidding his time before 20th of January. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.
