Should Vladimir Putin be allowed to run in the republican primary

[meaner gene]

Then you have answered your own question. Under the 14th. Amendment P01135809 is NOT eligble because he engaged in Insurrection. Read the 14th. Amendment AND the qualifications to be president.

In part, the more you research the problem, the more convoluted the answer.
Vladimir Putin has no place on the general presidential election ballot, but that's because the constitution bars it.
But partisan primary elections are controlled by the political parties. And they would have to turn to their bylaws to see who can or can't run in their primaries. Amd a quick read finds no such test of their primary candidates.
Plus primary elections are different than general elections. The state runs primary elections under the rules the political parties set forth. So the political parties and not the states would set the rules for who could run in their primaries.
The general is a different matter. There the states run the election, and do so under the constitution, laws and regulations that apply.

As I have told you several times, the individual states contol who can and cannot be put on their ballot.

Putin IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. PUTIN IS RUSSIAN....NOT AMERICAN. YOU CANNOT BE THIS DENSE.

That's fine for the general, but what about the primary?

Primary Elections vs. General Elections
Partisan primary elections — often known as "primaries" — are elections held within a political party before general elections. In general, the main purpose of a primary election is to narrow the field of candidates within a political party. Voters accomplish this goal by electing a single candidate to represent their party.

Once each party elects a candidate to represent them, those candidates move on to compete against each other in the general election.

General elections are elections between each party's elected candidate. The goal of general elections is to select a candidate to fill the office for which the candidates are running, e.g., the presidential office, gubernatorial office, etc.

You and your silly details .
Don't you want the best for your country ?
Modify the rules and give your country a taste of the best.
If you keep on with your fifth rate record you will find yourself top of the Banana Nations before you have grasped how terminally ill you are .

The question, should Vladimir Putin be allowed on the republican presidential primary ballot?

He isn't a United States citizen.

They state the obvious, that Putin isn't qualified to be president. But what they leave out is who the "magic fairies" are, that have the job of keeping him off the ballot.
That his name will just be magically erased, without explain who or how it's actually done.

As you know, the political parties set the rules for primary elections, and I don't see where they have any qualifications for who can run in their primaries.

14-Year-Old Boy Uses Legal Quirk to Run for Vermont Governor

Ethan Sonneborn, 14, of Bristol, met requirements to be on primary ballot

www.voanews.com

BURLINGTON, VT. —
One of the four Vermont Democrats seeking the party nomination to run for governor in the fall election isn't old enough to vote, let alone drive.

Ethan Sonneborn, 14, of Bristol, met the requirements to be on the primary ballot

The Vermont Constitution doesn't have an age requirement for people seeking the state's highest office beyond having lived in the state for four years before the election. Sonneborn qualifies.

Just saw this headline on NY Times:

Transgender Candidate in Ohio Is Disqualified for Not Disclosing Birth Name

What section of the Constitution was violated? Who in Ohio was authorized to deny this candidacy?

The thread is not goofy. It's an exercise in reality. It's about the nuts and bolts of determining who decides if a candidate is qualified for office.

He is a Communist. Some people should just the qualifications for the Office of President.

This isn't a problem, because she is running for a state position

Vanessa Joy, a real estate photographer running as a Democrat in Ohio’s 50th District, was informed in a letter from the Stark County Board of Elections on Tuesday that she had been disqualified from the state House race.

The board cited a state law that requires a person running for office to list on the candidacy petition any name changes within five years of an election, and it gave Ms. Joy until Friday afternoon to appeal.

Running for a federal office, they couldn't impose such a state law against her.

If George Santos ran in Ohio, would the law apply?

In June 2020, during his first run for Congress, Santos (under the name George Devolder)

I'd have to find the quote, but it goes something like "Common sense, isn't that common".

Everybody thinks something as obvious as keeping a foreigner off the ballot has the who and how already a matter of settled law.

In the transgender case it was the the Stark County Board of Elections. Meaning such decisions are made at the lowest level.

Republicans have said, they would vote for Vladimir Putin to keep Biden out of office.
The question, should Vladimir Putin be allowed on the republican presidential primary ballot? And if not, who has to take his name off the state ballots? The secretary of state? The states top court? The US Supreme Court? Who has the authority to remove Putin from the ballot?

Putin isn't American so the Xenophobic constitution won't allow him to run

The question isn't that Putin wouldn't be allowed to run, but who can legally take his name off the ballot?

Does the US Supreme Court have to make that call?

Is Putin from Georgia? Maybe Donny can put in call to the governor.
