RE: Who was this candidate?
Ice pick?, I'm going to go with Trotsky
About Deb's citizenship - Congress passes a lot of stupid legislation. But he definitely was still a US citizen. Non-citizens are prohibited from running for President by Article II of the US Constitution, and Debs couldn't have run in 1920 if he was no longer a US citizen. The confusion comes from the state of Indiana barring Debs from voting after his release because his sentenced was commuted by Pres. Harding; he wasn't pardoned and a convicted felon cannot vote. Fifty years earlier, in 1926, Congress was also inundated with requests to "restore" his citizenship, but he was still a US citizen: https://books.google.com/books?id=yauyFz...22&f=false |
