America’s justice system abides by the notion of the presumption of innocence, “innocent until proven guilty”. This presumption of innocence is recognized as a due process right under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and as such, a prosecutor has the burden of proof to show that someone charged with a crime is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Former President Trump has announced that he is planning to run for a second presidential term in the 2024 election despite multiple state and federal indictments, which if convicted, could lead to jail time for the former President.
Please review the indictments President Trump is charged with and explain in detail whether you think the President should be allowed to run for a second presidential term. You should research and analyze if there are any statutes or laws that would prevent the former President from running as well as the policy implications of whether he should be allowed to run. Lastly, explain in detail how you think President Trump would govern if he is convicted of the charges against him but wins a second term.
