A law forbidding her to run again is a Bill of Attainder and is unlawful.

A law forbidding her to run again is a Bill of Attainder and is unlawful.

Only if the law was passed to specifically apply to her. But the law the poster referenced is already on the books, and the prohibition on holding federal office applies to anyone guilty of violating it. However, it could be argued that it doesn't apply to elective office, only appointed and civil service positions.

The law is on the books.
