26327: Tortora: (reply) Fwd: Dumarsais Simeus miffed because he is disqualified (fwd)





From: Viv and Pat Tortora <vtortora@capecod.net>

 If Dumarsais Simeus is not disqualified from running for the Haitian
presidency by Article 135-a, he certainly is by 135-e. He should have read the
Haitian Constitution before throwing his hat in the ring

ARTICLE 135: To be elected President of the Republic of Haiti, a candidate
must:

a. Be a native-born Haitian and never have renounced Haitian nationality;
b. Have attained thirty-five (35) years of age by the election day;
c. Enjoy civil and political rights and never have been sentenced to death,
personal restraint or penal servitude or the loss of civil rights for a crime
of ordinary law;
d. Be the owner in Haiti of at least one real property and have his habitual
residence in the country;
e. Have resided in the country for five (5) consecutive years before the date
of the elections;
f. Have been relieved of this responsibilities if he has been handling public
funds.
