[QUOTE="inactive, post: 3257026, member: 7488"] It's not vetting candidates based on financial status, but rather a financial disclosure. They can be rich or broke AF; all they have to do is produce a tax return. Also it's NOT laid out in the Constitution, obviously. So thus it's a power (not a right, but a power, we've established) reserved for the States, no? Since really they're not obligated to have a primary in the first place (and some states like IA and NV still don't have a primary) and never did until 1920. They only exists as a function for political parties to determine their candidates; a candidate need not be a member of a party or in a primary or caucus to run for office. [/QUOTE]
