    Actually the thought is if the government can just imprison you to stop your candidacy, they have too much power.

    Thus they can continue to run.

      I would say just don’t break any laws then, but laws can change and people are terrible.

      I’m saying I get why it’s a thing because people would convict their opponents. Not that I was actually saying well don’t break any laws.
