lol, you really are dense! You are the one subverting the Constitution! I'm the one defending it. How old are you?

"Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as president of the United States:

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.

Well, if you would take the time to actually read the content of the constitutional provisions that you have learned to cut and paste, you will find that there is nothing in those constitutional provisions that provides any court with the power to override the decisions by the people and their electors concerning the qualifications of candidates. The fact that the constitution provides for qualifications for president does not require that the judicial branch decide all factual questions concerning someone's qualifications. The constitution provides for many fact-finders, from voters and petit jurors to congresspersons and executive branch officials. Again, I think you're thinking of Iran.

I know that there are some of you out there who believe that this country would be better run by judges, but that was not what the Founders had in mind.
