[QUOTE="JSRG, post: 77509736, member: 418772"] One doesn't need to be "convicted" of anything to be barred from the ballot for being constitutionally ineligible. Being president for two terms, not being a natural born citizen, or being less than 35 years old are things that prevent you from becoming president and can cause you to be removed from ballots without any conviction (nor is a conviction even possible, as none of these are crimes). Indeed, after the Civil War, people [I]were[/I] declared ineligible for running afoul of the Fourteenth Amendment without receiving any formal conviction. A conviction might "help" insofar as it gives greater evidence, but it isn't required for the Fourteenth Amendment's disqualification clause to bar someone from office. [/QUOTE]
