Then there's this MAGA sycophancy.
Candidates for the presidency or for Congress could run for office in Iowa even if they are convicted of felonies, if the bill passes.
The legislation removes the requirement that candidates for federal office sign an affidavit attesting that they know they are disqualified from holding office if they have been convicted of a felony.
Requirements for federal candidates are set in the U.S. Constitution, and states do not have the authority to place additional requirements on federal candidates as they can with candidates for state office.
Candidates for state and local offices would still be disqualified from the ballot if they are convicted of a felony.
