That law cannot bar someone from running for and holding the office of the President of the United States. It can keep someone from being nominated to lesser offices.

Federal law is not superior to the Constitution. The qualifications for the presidency are clearly laid out in Article II of the Constitution, and federal law cannot amend that.

The only bar to holding the office of President is impeachment and removal, the 14th amendment prohibition via a finding of insurrection, or the 25th amendment finding of incapacitation.

This will go nowhere.

Well, apparently this law states otherwise:



The Presidency qualifies as "any office under the United States" is it not?

Question:

Since we don’t vote for President but for the electors, how can they stop people from voting for electors?

Someone on the Dem side didn’t think this through.
