    4 This duty requires that Bowen oversee all elections in the state and ensure that noelection law is violated. In order to fulfill tiiis duty, tiie Secrefery of State websitecontains information for all persons seeking eieded office, in particular the requirementefor eligibility that must be met in order to qualify for the ballot. This also includesinformation for presidential candidates.(http://www.sos.ca.gov/eledions/election 2008/gualifications/wi ores nov2008.Ddfl.This information sheet includes the three requiremente for e ligibility under U.S. Const.Artide 11, Sedion 1, Clause 5 , which are (1) be a natural bom citizen of ttie UnitedSfetes, (2) be at least 35 years of age, and (3) be a resident of the United Sfetes for atleast 14 years. Unless these requiremente are merely placed on the infomiation sheetfor the sole purpose filling space in the document, it is reasonable to infer tiiat theSecrefery of State should verify that a Presidential candidate meets said requirementsbefore pladng that candidate on the ballot, since the Secretary of State is under a dutyto verify the eligibility of all those who run for any state office as well as those who runfor the United Sfetes Congress. In f ad , the Secretary of State not oniy has such a dutyto verify the eligibility of a Presidential candidate, prior Secrefery of States haveexercised this duty, in 1968, Eldridge Cleaver ran for President of the United States onthe Peace and Freedom Party ticket, but was removed by then Secrefery of Sfete,Frank M.

Eldridge Cleaver challenged his removal, which was upheld by CalifomiaSupreme Court, whose dedsion was affimned by the Supreme Court of the UnitedSfetes, who reftjsed to review the decision (Cleaver v.
