Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) threatened to run for president last week, severely misquoting the United States Constitution in the process. "You can't even run for president for another six years," the photographer told Ocasio-Cortez, who is just 29 years old. The Constitution requires the U.S. president be at least 35 years old. "No, not for a long time. Thank God," she replied. "Although we've been joking that because the Equal Rights Amendment hasn't been passed yet,the Constitution technically says he cannot run unless he's 35. … So what we'll do is we'll force the Republican Party to pass the Equal Rights Amendment by threatening to run for president." "That is awesome. All the people who say a literal interpretation of the Constitution is the only thing you should be paying attention to," the photographer responded. "Exactly, all those Constitutionalists, I will keep vigilance," Ocasio-Cortez snarked. What does the Constitution actually say? As Politico noted, the Constitution — in Article II, which defines the qualifications for president — does not use a gendered pronoun as Ocasio-Cortez claimed. Instead, the Constitution says "any person." Here is the exact wording on presidential qualifications: No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
