How could Victoria Woodhull run for President when she wasn't the constitutionally mandated age of 35?

The fact that she would be seven months shy of 35 on the day of the inauguration probably went unnoticed by her contemporaries. Those who objected to her candidacy usually objected on the basis of her gender and not her age. In fact, one Congressman told her that because she was a woman, she wasn't a U.S. citizen.

If you're not a U.S. citizen, you can't vote and you can't run for President of the United States. The issue of age becomes a moot point. The webmaster cannot recall even one article in the 1870's that brought up the issue of Victoria's age.

If you can find such an article, please share it with our visitors. To our knowledge, it wasn't until the twentieth century that her age was brought up frequently, especially by those who asserted that Belva Lockwood was the first woman to run for President. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
