What is to stop Congress from passing a law that says nobody may be an officer under the United States unless they are a military veteran?

Under your interpretation of the law that is.
Statutory law cannot override the Constitution.

No, but it supersedes Maryland law regarding federal offices.
I guess you'd better get busy and generate a lawsuit, take it all the way up to the Supreme Court and have it declared un-Constitutional.
