I was a little intrigued about the Eligibility of certain "Candidates" currently running in the US. In the UK there tends to be a couple of eligibility clauses that can be called upon to remove or invalidated a candidate, for instance if a candidate is suggested to suffer a psychiatric condition that could effect their effective capacity it can be called into question, what can also be called into question is if a candidate has ever been convicted of a crime.
Looking at the straight forwards online information about US presidential eligibility it just seems to boil down to being US born, being the age of >35yrs and having lived in the country for the past 14 years. There doesn't seem to be any clauses in relationship to psychiatric state or criminal convictions.
This leads to the questions of Should it be something to look at over there? or would looking at such things undermine the freedoms and liberty's that American's take for granted?
