neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years



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.

Wow.

Just wow.

Let's look at Article I, Section III, shall we?

US Constitution said:
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

Now let's look at Joe Biden. He was born on November, 20, 1942.

His first Senate election was won in 1972. That election would have been held on November 7, 1972. Just in case your math is as piss-poor as your reading comprehension, that would put him at 29 years of age on election day, not to mention the campaign.

You can't be as effing stupid as you appear .... can you?

Or are you going say he illegally ascended to that Senate seat?

"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.

It's the requirement to hold the office, not the requirement to campaign for or be nominated for the office. Those processes are not outlined in the constitution and have indeed changed over the years (changes in primary processes, caucus processes, etc.)

If you are trying to tell me age is a factor in the nomination process, please also tell me where in the constitution it says a candidate can be nominated through a coin-toss (like good ole mrs. clinton).

It's amazing to me that you have to explain that ... ESPECIALLY when it's quite well explained in plain English in our gottdayum Constitution!

And as to your second point, National parties are private entities and can do whatever they want. Whom they nominate has NOTHING to do with the Constitution.

I can, but I'm not.


The hostility, though....

I'll not say that.

And ignoring the "apples and oranges" fallacy, since we're talking about two disparate and distinct offices and disparate and distinct sections of the Constitution, for now, I have reviewed the section you've cited.


And I'm looking for the word "candidate" and "eligible" in that section.....

And I'm not finding it.


I do, however, see the phrase "be a Senator".
Which has a distinct and disparate meaning from: "be eligible to that [Presidential] Office"

Ah.

You're talking about suitability, not qualifications.

Qualifications are laid out in the Constitution. AOC is qualified. Biden is qualified. Trump is qualified. Hillary is qualified. Obama is qualified. And so on and so forth.

None were suitable.

Read until you understand.

OR! You can quit being such a pedantic douche nozzle. You think it makes you look like a intaleckshul but it doesn't - it just makes you look like a loser permavirgin who has nothing better to do with their pathetic life than pick stupid arguments with strangers on the internet.

And there it is!

Reading the Constitution for what is actually says is pedantic and that adjective is conveyed as a pejorative.

For reading the Constitution as it is written.

YOU are the loser.

Yeah. I know the feeling.



It has almost - but not quite - as negative a connotation as "effing stupid"
