To me, speaking for my self only, it seems to me if you can't meet the requirement you cannot run.
For example, a VP pick who doesn't meet the requirement cannot be on the ticket, kind of like taking a driver test when you are only 10 years old.....you can take the test but you can't get the license therefor you are not allowed to take the test to begin with.
“Running for President” is a private activity not recognized by the Constitution. It is neither permitted nor forbidden to anyone.
