    Oliver is not qualified.

    Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets three qualifications for holding the presidency. To serve as president, one must:

    • be a natural-born citizen of the United States;
    • be at least 35 years old;
    • be a resident in the United States for at least 14 years.

          Compared to any of them. Sure he’s better than the two you listed, Bernie is still better than all 3, as would AOC. John Stewart is a fun talk show host for some people, but he’s still just a status quo neo-liberal with his interests aligning with the upper class.

              I’m likely misremembering, but afaik, they USED to relinquish any businesses they had going for them so that they wouldn’t everhave conflicting interests but obviously Trump doesn’t follow any standards
