Xzins said: The truth is that the constitution does require that any president be 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and 14 years a resident.

The truth also is that the constitution does not establish any responsible office or party to verify that those qualifications are met....

The Constitution does establish the "responsible party" - i.e., CONGRESS. See Amendment 20 and/or see the discussion of this process in the Robinson v. McCain order. (This was the case filed by Keyes' party in California earlier this year.)

So, we'll have to wait and see whether there is at least one Senator and one Representative in Congress willing to raise the required written objection on January 6 (?), when they meet to count the Electoral College vote. If they do (and it takes just ONE of each), then Congress will address the issue.

Hummm,just catching up.So Keyes suit is different.

I do not see the 20th amendment determining a body or protocol to validate a candidate’s qualifications.

I do see it saying what the process will be if a president elect does not qualify.

One would think that would be the Supreme Court, but that is an assumption of mine, and it is not spelled out in the constitution. There should be something in the constitution that spells out a body or a protocol for validating a candidate’s and/or a president-elect’s qualifications for the presidency.
