California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, known on Twitter as @EleniForCA, has erroneously stated in a letter that the U.S. Constitution requires a presidential candidate to be 40 years old and not an insurrectionist. The actual constitutional requirement is that a presidential candidate must be at least 35 years of age. The letter, which called for the removal of former President Donald Trump from the ballot, has drawn criticism for its inaccuracies. Prominent attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon, or @pnjaban on Twitter, criticized Kounalakis's letter as ignorant and embarrassing, questioning the fear behind the attempt to prevent voters from deciding in the upcoming election tagged with #MAGA2024.

Officially embarrassed that CA’s Lt.
