"This one is a Goses"

"AND THIS ONE IS A MESS"

Not different definitions but "different meanings to different people". For some, the word itself says everything, for others, the word itself says nothing.

Isn't that like saying we know what convicted felon means but we just are not going to apply it in this case?

It means someone who has the full constitutional right to run and win the presidency of the United States (I'm speaking about the US constitution, not the woke constitution that has a RIGHT for abortion)

That is what he can do while also being a convicted felon. We all understand that.
