It’s rude. We need a ruling.
***That’s an incredible understatement. The SCOTUS basically ushered in and empirical presidency by abrogating their responsibility. It was no less than the end of the constitutional republic. Far, far more than just “rude”.
Even worse than SCOTUS, Congress abrogated their responsibility. This should have been debated and voted on in Congress when counting the electoral votes in 2009.
What IF the assumption is always that a candidate IS eligible until proven NOT to be.
Where is it stated that the candidate must be vetted by the SCOTUS before he/she is nominated?
Seems the nominated candidate is eligible until such time as you show up on the steps of the supreme court waving his naturalization documents, in other words.
