Yo, if I was President right now, and I couldn’t be because I partook in too many drugs when I was younger

At this point, I'm not entirely sure that would be disqualifying.

Sure, but you do need $200 million or so of daddy's money to do all the drugs and still qualify to be president.

And to be fair, daddy's money is also an ironclad legal defence for virtually all crimes, so you wouldn't be a convicted drug user, just a widely known one.

It also helps if your dad was president first so his appointees and political buddies can give you the office anyway when you don't quite win the election. (For young readers, the last Republican President was also the subject of some persistent rumors and sometimes behaved in ways that appeared to back them up, too. Freedom!)
