We should run Mamdani in 2028. Those who know a little bit about presidential eligibility will cry that this can't be done. Those that know more about presidential eligibility will recognize that it's entirely possible for Mamdani to run for and serve as president.

I mean, this seems pretty cut and dry:

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

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.
