Were women constitutionally eligible to be elected prez or VP before they got the right to vote in 1920? (I know some states adopted women's suffrage before 1920). But was a woman eligible to appear on presidential ballots? The Constitution only provides for someone to be a natural-born citizen, 35 years of age and 14 years of US residence. It doesn't say women can't be elected for some reason. But it's actually weirs someone can be prez without having the right to vote.
