Burton v. United States was a case involving someone who was not eligible.

Not eligible under a statute, but perfectly eligible under the Constitution. What that case is saying is that Congress can't change the eligibility requirements.

Somehow that part of my post got clipped. It's getting late and I must have fat fingered the html.
