14:17 wow...a convicted felon can run for presidency no problem, but god forbid it is someone born outside the US! That is really idiotic! Imo, having a convicted felon president is much worse than having a president, who was born somewhere else, but became a US citizen before his 1st birthday for instance.. To be a convicted felon, a person had to commit a crime as an adult, so it was a choice. But one cannot control or choose his birthplace. It is chosen for him. Besides, being born outside the US, doesn't a priori make someone a bad person.. the same cannot be said for a convicted felon, at least not with absolute certainty. So, tell me, how does it make sense?!
