The Constitution requires it.

Period.

The states can’t enact Jim Crow laws, either.

“The Constitution requires it.”

we all know that...the POINT is that states and the FEC

That isn’t the point. Ballot access is controlled by the states under the federal system.

Urkle will have to be removed by impeachment if the Supreme Court finds him ineligible. Or he could serve from jail if it refuses to convict him.

A lot of Jim Crow laws are still in effect in several states; that's the origin of most gun control laws that are still on the books.

Such laws have been passed as late as the 1960s (GCA'68, passed to keep blacks from having easy access to inexpensive surplus rifles and "Saturday night special" handguns) and almost none of them have been declared unconstitutional (even though they all probably are).

WRONG

Yes the Constitution requires the POTUS to be a Natural Born Citizen, however, that same document leaves elections to the States to control.

Oh, come on. The Constitution is a living, breathing document. We've moved beyond it.
