This will be interesting. Obviously a state can pass such a law. I think it's fair to want a candidate to be transparent. I'm not sure the courts will allow it.
No, the state cannot pass such a law. The requirements to be a President of the United States are outlined in the US Constitution. No state can change that by adding on to it without a constitutional amendment.
Democrats still plugging up our courts with childish bullshit that will never work.
They did not change the requirements to be a President of the United States, they added a rule to be on their ballot.
A rule that changes the constitutionally-mandated requirements for president. The requirements cannot be changed, subtracted or added to short of an amendment.
Unconstitutional.
Interpreting the high court's ruling six years later, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
declared a California law unconstitutional for "creating an absolute bar to candidates, who otherwise meet the requirements of the Qualifications Clause."
Many expect judges would
apply the same logic for the presidency. But courts have also upheld several so-called "ballot access" rules in primary elections,
finding that states have a "right to regulate elections by imposing reasonable requirements on candidates."
