      I am pretty sure being head the Vatican would be considered foreign nobility for purposes of the constitution.

        Honestly, he’d probably better than like 80+% of the field we’ve had in the last 3 elections or will have if there is another one.

      The pope is technically a head of state position for a foreign nation so he couldn’t run for president while holding that office.

      But it would still be cool.

        That would be like a President owning and running businesses that get revenue from foreign leaders while he was in office. That would be a conflict of interest and would never be allowed by Congress or the Courts.
