Maybe they could run Cortez. She’s got the mouth for it.

She's only 29. You have to be 35 to be president.

But not to worry, according to the empty-headed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the age requirement only applies to male presidents because the Constitution refers to the president as "he".

Unfortunately for her dead-white-male schtick, the Constitution (Article 2 Section 1), fails to use the dreaded two-letter pronoun in setting the age limit to be president:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

As if any of them pay attention to that “worn out old document” any longer.

They couldn’t have cared less about Barry Soetoro.

35? Eh, who cares?

They wouldn’t even ask her for ID. They didn’t Obama.
