    Self executing what does that even mean in this context?

    “Oh hey Trump I know you were on the ballot but it magically disappeared because the universe knows what you did last summer winter. People don’t have to enforce the law, some laws just magically enforce themselves!”

      Meaning you don’t need some action to invoke it, it’s just there. You can’t get on the ballot if you’re under 35, an immigrant, or a traitor.

        Yeah and we can see how that “works.” It takes a person to enforce it, that’s what happened, and then the SCOTUS said “nah not like that, it needs to be magic.”
