So, if Khalid Sheikh Mohammed runs for President, no one has the right to challenge his qualifications to be POTUS?
I didn’t know that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was a US citizen.
When did that happen?
Well, yeah. That why the claims certain persons in recent years weren’t eligible to run got nowhere in court. The generalized complaints about standing on this forum notwithstanding, it’s an extremely important governing principle. It’s why if I hear my neighbor was in a terrible accident and I’m upset about it, I don’t have standing to sue for my emotional distress. Nor do my ten coworkers I tell about, who also get upset by hearing the tale
And my response to your anticipated reaction is the conservative one: if the lack of standing in this circumstance is viewed as a problem, then Congress has the ability to pass a law granting standing. If there’s no mechanism in law for accomplishing something we want done, then it just doesn’t get done.
Well, he is not a US citizen so a regular Joe might have standing. The Insurrection thing is different.
