    The Supreme Court has made it clear that only congress can enforce who can or can’t run for president. Not even the states can choose who can run. So, if he wants to run for president and either the house or senate refuse to stop him… whelp, nothing that can be done about it.

      “The Supreme Court has made it clear that only congress can enforce who…”, while already fulfilling the Constitutional requirements to run for office, “…can or can’t run for president”

          *also, not except.

          the conservative SC can choose to interpret incorrectly what “office” legally means, but “natural-born citizen” has less legal wiggle room with respect to citizens not naturally born in the US vying for presidential candidacy.
