Do presidential candidate have to get security checks?

3. No. There is no Office of Who Is Allowed To Be President

6. The reason FBI chief today had to admit trump has NOT asked him to defend America

Even his supporters now realize this and therefore are openly admitting they are traitors.

7. All Presidential Candidates should undergo extensive mental, physical
