The unqualified answer is " Yes!!-- they can!! ". If anything, the wealth of in-house experience behind bars often proves indispensible to the freshman senator, seeking to walk the fine line between robbing the country blind for whatever cause his Lobbyists-chums seek to exploit, and at the same moment appearing to be so super-patriotic that voting for his constituents , and against the Lobbyist position, would be unthinkable. Time behind bars, so preciously cultivated when available, is to be sought greatly by contemplative office-holders: sometimes, it is the sole opportunty to learn the craft awaited.
A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms anywhere in the US.
Yes.
No. A convicted felon is a convicted felon regardless of WHERE they go or live in the US. Note: Use caution if you're even thinking about it! The federal punishment for felon in possession of a firearm is a minimum of 15 years in federal prison.
yes it doesnt say anything in the constition about it, the constition only says you have to be 35 a us citizen and have lived in the us for 14 years. the real question is would you want a convicted felon to run for president? how would you feel? if you feel like i have missed something or left it out let me know at britbrat9235@yahoo.com thanks Brittney hutchison
You have to be 30 years old in able to run for US Senator.
In the US, yes, unless you are a convicted felon you retain the right to vote.
No. Granted 'clemency' or not, you remain convicted of the crime with which you were charged - a convicted felon. It is a federal offense for a convicted felon to ever own or "possess" a firearm (US Code, Title 18).
yes they can as along as thet are good boys
File a petition with the US Attorney for your area.
That will depend on the laws of the host nation (Middle East is not a country). In some cases, a previously convicted felon will be blocked from entering that country. You need to specify WHICH country.
Registered voters. That means you are 18, a US Citizen, not a convicted felon, and registered to vote.
NOT a good idea! US Code, Title 18 stipulates that it is a federal offense for a convicted felon to ever own or "POSSESS" firearms of any type. To live in a residence where there are firearms puts the felon in what is known in the law as "constructive possession" of the firearms (i.e.- the felon would have ready access to them - which is exactly what the law is written to prevent). That is a violation of the law, and the person who owns the guns and who knowingly resides with a convicted felon could also be charged as an accessory to the offense.
