Please don't parrot incorrect statements without bothering to read the rest of the thread from a position of arrogant ignorance. This claim has been repeated over and over yet not a single person has bothered to back it with any actual law. It's not in the constitution, if that's what you think.

I responded to the wrong comment, I thought this was the thread about elections in Ukraine, haha. I deleted it, but deletions don't propagate between servers quickly
