Practice question
A presidential candidate can read and write, is a natural-born citizen, a registered voter, meets the election-day age and required residence, and has no relevant disqualification. An opponent relies solely on the candidate’s lack of a university diploma. Does Article VII, Section 2 itself make that omission disqualifying?
- Yes, because a university degree is expressly required.
- Yes, because literacy means a law degree.
- Yes, because only licensed professionals may be President.
- No; the provision requires reading and writing but does not prescribe a university diploma.
- No, because the Constitution imposes no qualifications at all.
