I guess you could pass a law though and call it the "We Don't Want Any Nelson Mandelas In Our Country Act: Once we've put you in prison for being against our established social order, you can't ever get into office to change it"."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

considering how south africa turned out, sounds like a wise policy"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

But doing my own research apparently it is up to each state as to whether a felon can run for office or not. In most states a convicted felon can't own a gun or even vote. Apparently in Maryland they can not only vote but run for office.
