To all those asking, I am flattered but I will NOT be running. If nominated I will not accept, if elected I will not serve. Please don't over-interpret my trips to Iowa and New Hampshire. Plus I am NOT Constitutionally eligible and don't want to burden the Courts at this time

Don't they get a lot of leeway with how they spend campaign funds after they stopped running to?
