Socialist Workers Party presidential candidate Róger Calero, a 39-year-old Nicaraguan meatpacker, is on the ballot in the five states that allow noncitizens to run for president, even though the Constitution bars them from serving. Mr. Calero said in an interview that should the party win, he is confident voters would approve a constitutional amendment allowing him to take office.

He should also be quite confident that he has not a prayer of winning because he is not on the ballot in at least 45 states.

Anybody know which states allow non-citizens to run for the Presidency?

“Mr. Calero said in an interview that should the party win, he is confident voters would approve a constitutional amendment allowing him to take office.”

I’m no Constitutional scholar, but isn’t it too late to pass the amendment after he’s elected? I mean, who’s gonna be in office during the ratification process? And what assurance is there that that president will step aside after the amendment becomes law?
