The Constitution never gives Congress any authority over the eligibility of the President. The only entity that is recognized as having the authority to interpret the Constitution and apply it to specific cases is the judiciary.

Okay, that could certainly be possible. I am speculating from what I know, which is only vague. However, who certifies the election results? Is it the courts, or the Congress? I would imagine that if it is the Congress then one could say that it would be incumbent on them to qualify the candidates since they have to certify the results. May be a stretch, I don't know.
