Why should the Democrats or anyone else have a candidate on the ballot who hasn't qualified? (a musing from my own gray matter)

I have thought this for quite some time now. That we should be electing a candidate, not a party.

Thoughts, comments?

She was born to Illegal alien parents and deported At four years old. I still Want to know how she thinks she’s qualified to be president constitutionally. She ended up growing up in Canada going to school there before returning to the US.

Because Biden was the perfect pliable stooge, and the left could get their ever desired to get enacted.

Both the Democrat Party and the Republican Party are private corporations. As long as their presidential nominees meet the Constitution’s qualifications (age 35+, etc.) no court would intervene.

So if a nomination process is slanted or unfair, it would be up to the voters to decide: accept the candidate anyway or be disgusted and reject the candidate.

Sorry. In my post #4 I was talking about voters in the November general election.

'rats make up their own laws all the time.

If Republicans cannot find a way to stink up THEIR process...they ARE as worthless as the dems.

The Constitution doesn’t mention primary elections or party conventions or nominations. In fact, it doesn’t mention political parties at all.

Strictly speaking we are not even voting for President. We are voting for electors who have publicly pledged to elect a particular individual as President, but are not legally bound to do so.

There is no Constitutional mechanism to do what you propose.

File those suits in 3 weeks right after she secures the nomination.

Just like the last time Kamala ran, she has no delegates. I heard Joe Manchin has rejoined the Democrat party and is throwing his hat in the ring.

Her mom was originally a student, then tried to stay, they eventually kicked her out. Someone posted on FR a detailed history from a site about 3-4 weeks ago. I never bookmark these links...

If anyone has a link to that, please post it.
It would be especially relevant now...

IIRC, Nancy Pelosi ++ signed letters declaring their candidate, 0bama, was qualified to run for the position of President. The letters were sent to every State. All letters were the same, cept for one. The letter sent to Hawaii was different.

Dinms cheat and lie and there are no consequences for Dim criminals

I do not know the deadlines, as each State has their own laws for choosing a President

The adjective “natural born” means something. It indicates a kind of Citizen created by the Laws of Nature and Natural Law, not a man-made law, act, amendment, or treaty granting citizenship at birth to a person or group such as 8 U.S. Code Section 1401 - Nationals and Citizens of United States at Birth.
A citizen created by man-made laws is not a “natural born Citizen”

Not everyone who comes to the US is an illegal immigrant. Kamala’s parents were probably here on student visas as they were both doing post-graduate work.

Kamala was born in the US, which the courts have decreed sufficient to run for president. Get something going to define NBC differently and then maybe you’ll be able to complain with some legitimacy.

Manchin said today that “He doesn’t need that in his life.”

I like the way he phrased that.
