    That’s exactly what should happen.

    You want to nominate a dog to run for president? You want to nominate a fictional character to run for president? You want to nominate a dead person to run for president?

    Go ahead.

    The state is not obligated to put that nominee on the ballot because that nominee is 100% ineligible to hold the office of president.
