First Amendment - Popular Civics Hypothetical


At twenty-seven years of age, Lindsay wasn't constitutionally eligible to be president. See U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 5. But was she eligible to run?
Lindsay claims she was, and so brings suit seeking vindication of her rights under the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Twentieth Amendment. She is joined by one of her supporters and the Peace and Freedom Party. For convenience, we will generally refer only to her.

Lindsay v. Bowen, 13-15085, 2014 WL 1778036 (9th Cir. May 6, 2014)
