re: #127 Killgore Trout
Not really. It’s not an official rule but it’s what American voters have decided.
To ask about and require a politician to be of a certain (or any) religion is not unconstitutional? I think the founders beg to differ.
Article 6, paragraph 3. United States Constitution:
“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
