Bill > SB46

This bill would require candidates for President and Vice President to affirm under oath that they meet the qualifications for office as outlined in the U.S. Constitution, and it would allow the Secretary of State to investigate candidates if there's reasonable suspicion they don't meet these qualifications, potentially requesting proof of eligibility. It also establishes a process for electors or candidates to challenge a candidate's qualifications in court, with expedited hearings and decisions, and clarifies that a candidate's exclusion from the ballot for failing to meet constitutional eligibility requirements will not substantially interfere with the election process. Additionally, the bill makes a technical, nonsubstantive change to existing law regarding the presumption of authenticity for seals.
