If you cannot actually qualify, then you are prohibited holding the office. Pretty simple logic.

I understand and agree.

Kevmo asserts that because there is no further law defining the terms of the Constitutional prohibition against quartering of soldiers in private homes, there likewise need be no law setting out a process for verifying the qualifications of a presidential candidate.

The 3rd Amendment reads No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. Although there is no clarifying court ruling* or law further defining conditions, the amendment clearly leaves an opening for laws to be enacted.

*Actually there is one court ruling, Engblom v. Carey.
