Practice question

- Only the candidate's preferred label matters.
- The provision refers to the offense's punishability and the final conviction within the five-year period, not merely the actual sentence argument.
- Every allegation without conviction is equivalent to this final judgment.
- The rule applies only to foreign convictions.
- A private waiver by one shareholder erases the Code.
