A Republican state representative in Missouri has proposed legislation that would allow a person who pleaded guilty to or was convicted of a felony to serve in public office – and has named it after the president-elect, who has a felony record.
The “Donald J. Trump Election Qualification Act,” introduced by state Representative Michael Davis, would repeal a 2015 Missouri law that prevents a person with a felony from becoming a candidate in a local or statewide election.
