Donald Trump's eligibility to run for president questioned following felony charges

Eugene Debs, a socialist candidate, did something unusual in 1920. He ran for US president while in prison in Atlanta. This was not common. The only other president who had trouble with the law was Ulysses Grant. He was fined but then ran away. He was in trouble for not supporting the US in World War I. Debs was arrested for speaking against the war. He was brave and did not give up. The Socialist Party chose him as their candidate. They even changed his prisoner number and made campaign buttons for him. Debs said he would run for president from his prison cell. People saw this on newsreels in cinemas. Some cheered for him, others did not. Debs did not win the election, but he made a statement. Now, let's talk about Donald Trump. He was found guilty of some crimes. People wonder if a convicted person can run for president. Also, can a felon vote for themselves? The US Constitution has rules for presidential candidates. Trump still has Secret Service protection. Eugene Debs, a Socialist leader, ran for president from prison in 1920. He was in jail for speaking against the draft. His rival, Warren G. Harding, later reduced his sentence. Now, let's answer a harder question. Can a felon vote? Trump's right to vote in Florida depends on his prison sentence. In Florida, felons can vote if they are not in prison. In New York, felons who are not in jail can register to vote. Even if Trump gets prison time, he can still appeal his conviction before the election. This has caused confusion and stopped some people from voting.
