    The Constitution doesn’t say anything about an age required to run for President, it just says that they have to be at least 35 to be President. She’ll be 35 this October, well before the election.

    Besides, I think you’ll find that under-35s can only be barred from the presidency if Congress passes a law because apparently the Constitution doesn’t matter at all. Or something to that effect anyway, I find it hard to play devil’s advocate for that dogshit opinion from the SCOTUS.

      Yeah, fair enough. Especially the SC/Constitution-doesn’t-matter-anymore thing. Geez. What a mess we’re in.

      Personally, I’d love to see a future Buttigiege/AOC ticket, but I’m not sure how well that would work in a general election. Who knows in 4 years, though?

        Preach, sib.

        Guess we’ll see if we make it to next year first, and go from there! I’ll vote for that ticket, though, if I get the chance.
