Yep, and the court has no jurisdiction. The dems can run anyone they want. Now there may be qualifications to get on the ballot in individual states, but that is a state issue, not a federal issue.

Why isn’t this a Federal issue? The office he’s running for isn’t a state office, it’s a Federal office, therefore under Federal jurisdiction.

There are Constitutional qualifications.

Qualifications for the Office of President

Age and Citizenship requirements - US Constitution, Article II, Section 1

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.

That was my thought also. Only AFTER he is elected could a court decide he is not a “natural citizen” that would seem to follow some logic.
