Nope. You're either lying or misinformed. Likely the former.
You have to be 35 to be president. One does not become president, assuming they won the election, until they are inaugurated. She will be 35 at that point.

Honestly, I would absolutely LOVE to see an AOC/Trump face-off at a debate....
AOC: "You're nothing but an overblown reality TV star!"
Trump: "Hold my beer... after you've poured it... Bartender!"

Nope. You don't become the nominee unless you're nominated.

Yes, this is how I picture you.
You seriously cannot grasp that there are primaries and a nomination process to get on the ballot as the 'D' nominee for president? Pathetic.

You are out of your mind.
Yes, I'm aware of how it works.
You're standing up strawmen because it's all you have.

Tell us how.
Thrill me with your acumen.
P.S. An acumen is not a car, no matter what AOC tells you.

OC: I don't even wanna be on the same stage as this man. He may grab my pussy.
T: I wouldn't grab that thing, it'll smell like I shoved my shoved my hand down a clogged garbage disposal.
OC: Your tiny hands would probably fit
T: **** YOU!
OC: NO **** YOU!
It would truly be a meeting of the minds.
It would almost outshine the intellectual bandying of words displayed in this thread.
Almost.

To simplify the question:
Can a US Citizen be NOMINATED as a Presidential candidate before reaching the age of 35 as long as they will be 35 years old when they are sworn in as President?

A Presidential candidate must be:
- A natural born citizen (U.S. citizen from birth)
- At least 35 years old and.
- A U.S. resident (permanently lives in the U.S.) for at least 14 years.
I am going to assume that by "Candidate" they mean you must be nominated AFTER your 35th birthday.

As stated over and over the Dems will nominate whoever they want regardless if they meet the bare minimum qualifications or not.

NO!
Jeeszus Effing Keerist. The word "candidate" DOES NOT appear in Article II, Section I.
US Constitution said:

It is actually spelled out in Article II, Section I. The language isn't ambiguous.

"neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years,"
Eligibility requires nomination. That's the way I read and interpret it.

The world "eligible" implies "candidacy".
Dr: Is this person a candidate for a heart transplant. (Translation: Is this person eligible to receive a foreign ****ing heart?)
Nurse: No.
Dr. If we schedule a transplant in January, Will be be a candidate then?
Nurse: ....
Dr. ...
Nurse: I'll check article 2 section 1.
You are being a pedantic ****.
You are wrong.
Move the **** on.

My god you are proving yourself as dumb as the rest of the ignorati on here.
Eligibility is defined in the Constitution. Period. Eligibility DOES NOT require the nomination.

No. It is not.
Nor is the wording in, say, The 2nd Amendment - yet look at all the fun and adventure surrounding that.
