Practice question
A private individual invokes Rule 66 solely because the individual is a voter, expressly disclaims any personal right to the office, and does not proceed through the Republic. Under Miguel’s comparison, is ordinary election-voter standing automatically sufficient for this private Rule 66 suit?
- Yes, the two standing rules are identical
- Yes, every private voter is automatically entitled to every office
- No; private Rule 66 standing requires the individual’s claim of entitlement, unlike ordinary electoral quo warranto voter standing
- Yes, a campaign slogan supplies entitlement
- No, because no individual can ever use Rule 66
