On May 10, 2016, independent presidential candidate Souraya Faas filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Texas against the independent presidential candidate procedures. Faas lives in Florida and had filed with the FEC as an independent presidential candidate in 2015. The lawsuit is Faas v Cascos, southern district, Houston, 4:16cv-1299. When she filed, she was represented by an attorney. However, he withdrew from the case in July. U.S. District Court Judge Sim Lake issued an order on August 17, 2016, saying that he will dismiss the case for non-prosecution if nothing is filed by August 29. Faas has retained a new attorney who expects to re-active the case by that deadline.

Here is information about the Faas candidacy. Faas will attain age 35 on December 19, 2016, and she was born in New York city, so she does meet the constitutional qualifications to be president.
