That's not what I asked.Please list the additional standards states impose that could stop a party from nominating the candidate of it's choice for elections in that state.I am saying that states already impose standards that are not in the Constitution. They have been upheld by the courts.
Whether this one will be is yet to be seen.
And no, a rule he must be under 35 would violate the constitution directly.
So would you think it constitutional for Texas to require all nominees to have an NRA membership and show all of their college and medical records?
Every state has signature requirements for any candidate not of a select few parties.
Currently, the GOP, Democrat Party, and other parties will all decide their own nominees without asking permission from the States as to who they can put on the ballot.
You are saying the the state of California can disqualify a party's nominee because they're butt-hurt.
Please link me to a state that has ever denied a party the right to pick it's own nominee for their ballot.
The states have given certain parties an exemption from meeting their rules for being on the ballot. This exemption is not based on anything in the Constitution, it is an individual state thing.
