Seems the latest issue amongst the self proclaimed Christians, is who is "really" a Christian and some of the presidential candidates have made it an issue regarding the coming presidential election.
One might imagine that those with a desire to become the President of the United States and those who will be electing the President of the United States would be aware of what the Constitution of their own nation says with regard to religion and being elected to office.
One might also imagine that those desiring to be elected President of the United States would understand what they will be taking an oath to uphold as part and parcel of the duties of their office rather than demonstrate they may have never read their own Constitution, nor realize what they will be taking an oath to uphold.
From Article VI, U.S. Constitution:
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
