IOW, the state courts have ruled that the Article II requirements are non-enforceable at all. Period.

How, then, can those lower courts be correct?

Tell me how the eligibility requirements could ever be enforced, if the states can’t do it because they’re not federal, and Congress can’t do it because 3USC Sec 15 doesn’t allow Congress to reject electoral votes certified by a State, and the federal courts can’t do it because it is a “political question”.

No, the state courts have ruled that existing state laws do not require the SoS to examine the qualifications for a Presidential candidate.

There is nothing preventing a state legislature from changing the state law to require a SoS to investigate Presidential candidates’ qualifications. But that has not happened yet.
