Several judicial fronts that the former president Donald Trump is not a legal impediment in view of their desire to return to the White House, since the US Constitution does not provide for restrictions on candidates if they are charged or even jailed.

Last week, Trump received a second battery of charges, this time a federal one. for keeping classified information in his Florida mansion.

The tycoon was already charged at the end of March for a bribe delivered on the eve of the 2016 elections in exchange for silence on the alleged “affair”.

Constitution does not indicate no criminal record among the few criteria set for being president, as it only provides that the candidate must be a natural-born citizen, be over 35, and have lived in the United States for at least 14 years. The Twenty-Second Amendment does state that a person who has already served two terms cannot be president.

And little room to add new requirements, as constitutional experts point to the chain ABC Newsremembering that there are already Supreme Court rulings stating that Congress cannot add new requirements for holding the highest political office in a North American country.

Technically, Trump can be a candidate even from prison, a circumstance that would not be unprecedented. During the 1920 presidential election, Eugene Debs, the candidate of the Socialist Party, was in prison for opposing World War I and received 3 percent of the vote.
