See this story, which says that recently, Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler tweeted that he doesn’t have authority to determine if presidential candidates meet the constitutional qualifications, and to remove them from the November ballot if they don’t meet the constitutional qualifications. Scroll down to the paragraph headed, “Couillon.”
It is true that in 1972, Louisiana printed the name of Linda Jenness on the November ballot as the Socialist Workers Party presidential candidate. She was age 33 at the time, and the Socialist Workers Party made no secret of that. The SWP in 1972 tried vigorously to defend the policy of letting it run an under-age presidential candidate. The party argued that the Twentieth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides for instances at which the voters elect someone who doesn’t meet the constitutional qualifications. Thanks to Bill Van Allen for the link.
How many cases in which an elected EXECUTIVE/JUDICIAL person was *elected* and then removed from office by the COURTS as being UN-qualified to hold the office ???
OR
How many constitutional CRISES can the U.S.A. have at any one time ???

Qualification stuff for legislative bodies is different due to the EVIL history in England of the EVIL monarchs trying to control for centuries who got elected to legislative bodies – i.e. the House of Commons.
Democracy and SANITY in the U.S.A. hang on by a thinner and thinner thread.
You can judge someone’s mental healthy when they write”SANITY” in all caps.
20th Amdt, Sec. 3
If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, [[[ or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify]]], then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

Is choosing a Prez now a WAR time event — with stunt clown MORONS playing the NON-qualified loophole ???
How about having SCOTUS on 24/7 alert from Nov. 2012 election day until noon on 20 Jan 2013 ??? Now perfectly normal – i.e. INSANE politics ???
