According to Slate, at an NAACP banquet in Charleston, South Carolina Friday night, Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton used “president” in lieu of “prisoner.”
Discussing her plans to “ban the box” (removing the criminal conviction disclosure requirement box from employment applications), Clinton said:
“Earlier today I announced that as President, I will take steps to ban the box so former presidents won’t have to declare their criminal history at the very start of hiring process.
