    Not really clear at all, hence why we get into this crap to begin with.

    In “ineligible” meaning that states can nominate a particular politician, however if they win, must they be rejected by the House of Representatives? If so, states can put Trump in all the want, and it’s up to the House to decline.

    Alternatively, does ineligible mean that states are prohibited from running elections w/ invalid candidates from the choices? Then, who decides a candidate is invalid?

      Interesting thought. So in any state that includes Trump on the ballot, a party should put forward a 30-year-old (legal) recent immigrant as a presidential candidate. Either they would need to put the candidate on the ballot whether they are ineligible or not, or remove Trump (or be shown for their double standard).
