Candidates for President, and any other elected office, should have to face the same qualifications to be on the ballot. Party affiliation should have nothing to do with ballot access.
Let me put it this way: Donald Trump, Robert Kennedy Jr., and a few other candidates have made it onto the ballots in their respective states. Harris has not done this for President. She should not be automatically considered for the post unless she has jumped through the same hoops as the other candidates have had to pass.
If this means that the Democrats can't field a candidate this election, so be it.
That would throw the system into a little chaos but it couldn't be worse than what we have now. And it would be right.
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.
RNC should file legal actions AGAINST HeelsUp being allowed to be Pres or even VP!
If Republicans cannot find a way to stink up THEIR process...they ARE as worthless as the dems.
Make Chicago 1968 Again!
Oh, c’mon. BeijingBiden has been hanging on by puppet strings since Jan21. To the DNC what/who matters?
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.
Wow, I hadn't heard this before...
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...
Actually, you are voting for the Electors of a candidate
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.

I do not know the deadlines, as each State has their own laws for choosing a President
https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-2/
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, ...
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, .. and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote...
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.
