An Act
to create

constitutional eligibility of candidates for federal office.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the official or agency with whom declarations of candidacy are required to be filed is authorized to refuse to place the candidate’s name on the ballot if it conclusively appears, either on the face of the nomination papers offered for filing, or by admission of the candidate or otherwise, that the candidate is ineligible to be nominated or elected.
Under this bill, the official or agency with whom a declaration of candidacy is required to be filed is prohibited from placing the name of a candidate for the office of president or vice president of the United States, the office of U.S. senator, or the office of representative in Congress if it conclusively appears, either on the face of the nomination papers offered for filing, or by admission of the candidate or otherwise, that the candidate is ineligible under the U.S. Constitution to be nominated or elected to that office.
The bill also prohibits any presidential elector from voting for a candidate for the office of president or vice president if it conclusively appears, by admission of the candidate or otherwise, that the candidate is ineligible under the U.S. Constitution to be elected to that office.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
