There is NOTHING preventing ANY natural born citizen of 35 years of age or older from being elected. I was stating a fact: We don’t usually elect people who only have “Congressman” on their resume. There have only been two such in 234 years - James Garfield and Abraham Lincoln (both in the 19th Century) and none have even been nominated since then.
