Wouldn’t the federal agency which oversees elections look into whether or not a candidate met the qualifications to be president?

I have never run for office at any level. Maybe someone who has run for a federal office can tell us what documents they had to provide when filing to run for election.

If the check is good and the body is warm, you're a candidate as far as the Federal Election Commission. They do no checking. It's up to the press to get out the negative items, including the possible fact that the candidate is not qualified to run.

There have been court cases at local and state levels about qualifications to run. Almost all of these concerned candidates who were required to live in their districts, and set up fake residences to run for office.
