As far as the Constitution is concerned, the matter was closed when the President of the Senate signed the papers.
So, the President of the Senate can give exemptions to Constitutional requirements?

I don’t think so. I hope to hell not anyway.

No point of order was raised or has since been raised by any of 535 members of Congress, therefore the action of certifying the vote of the Electoral College by Vice President Cheney in his role as President of the Senate stands.
There is no “constitutional requirement” except for what is spelled out in Article 2 Section 1 and in the 12th Amendment regarding counting the process of electoral collge votes.

I was speaking of the Constitutional requirement that:

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

That's a status or "state" issue, one either is or is not a natural born citizen. Congress can't change it, the individual can't change it. Not even the sitting VP can change it.
