Neither side brought up the 1968 Eldridge Cleaver case. The Peace and Freedom Party nominated Cleaver for president, even though he was only 31 & therefore ineligible. The courts ruled that he could not be barred from the ballot.
Probably because it had no bearing on this case.
Cleaver was Constitutionally ineligible to hold the office of president at age 31 but not ineligible to be on the ballot for president.
Actually, my recollection was that Cleaver’s name was kept off the ballot so the P&F Party only had a VP candidate. I was living in California at the time, but was not old enough to vote.
Colorado Justice Carlos Samour, Jr (D) had a clear dissent in this case
