No, you have to file... I think its like fifty five ballot petitions to get on the ballots in the respective states and territories. The FEC form is to register a campaign which has to do with finances sand campaigning. You would also need file with the various state and territorial election officials for your campaigns in those jurisdictions. You have to be a natural born citizen of the United States to be the President of the United States.
So unless you where born in US territory or one of your parents was a citizen you can't be President.
You can still run for grand poobaa of the mango headed garden gnomes though.
Also, put some pants on.

only as president must I be natural born citizenit does not stop a non citizen from being on presidential ballot nor receiving majority of votes.

In 2012, the Party for Socialism and Liberation ran a presidential ticket that consisted of Peta Lindsay (a 28-year-old woman) and Yari Osorio, a Colombian-born man.
Despite neither of them being Constitutionally eligble to hold office, according to wikipedia, they appeared on the ballot in 13 states.
Run, Dingo, Run!

It means a citizen at birth by jus soli or jus sanguinis.
Also, dingo wouldn't be able to get on the ballot in many states since he's not eligible.
Thats interesting because fec form two appears to be the singular document that must be lodged when declaring an intent to be on the ballot for president. The rest refer to campaign management officers, election committies and donation, fundraising and personal financial details.

Thirteen is enough, Comrade Dingo. You might recall (or might not) that there were originally 13 American colonies, so 13 American states with a Dingo/Slaad slate should be more than enough to spark the Third American Revolution.
Finish the Civil War!
String theory invalidates everything except Marxism!
Mangos for everyone!

Thank you for the consideration, but I'd rather stay in the opposition.

It looks to be little more than systemic bigotry toward non us persons running that has disuaded participation in presidential elections. You tell the lie long enough and they believe it.
If by some chance you managed to get on the ballot (and it would have to be in each state - and the hurdles in some states would be significant), the other candidates would have standing to challenge your candidacy in court to have you removed.
There are so very many stages in the process where you can be blocked.
But, there is a due process, and you are more than welcome to try. Be aware that some states require petitions to get on the ballot if you are not the candidate of an established party. And you have such a great track record getting your petitions signed....

Also, if you can work in some fan-fiction on how Rand Paul and Eric Cantor are the prophesied Chosen Ones that were Force-born to midichlorian-infused Ayn Rand, you could probably pick up the important Tea Party and Anakin/Prequels endorsements as well.
Also also, find some way to "dig up" evidence Hillary Clinton as being a Sith apprentice that Asajj Ventress secretly trained on the double-sekret probation hidden moon of Beng'ha'zee.
Also also also, stay neutral on your position on tabletop RPGs. Courtfool insisted on endorsing HERO as the best RPG, and it made him so politically toxic that even a drunken Ralph Nader wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole (at any speed).

Every state that I'm aware of requires nominating petitions for every candidate. Being the party candidate makes it relatively easy to get the required signatures however.

Look at it this way: what is the worst way that Yellowdingo could possibly screw up with this as his acceptance speech?

In the good old days, Dingo, you could have joined the Army, risen to commissioned rank, formed a cabal amongst your fellow officers and just carried out a coup d'etat, but nowadays, politics is just a kindergarten for mimsy-wimsy kumbyah singing milksops and you can't (in most places). IT'S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD, I TELL YOU!!!

So you can participate in the running, you just can't get the prize? Sounds like a wonderful idea.
About the "natural" born, however, does this mean that if you were born through IVF or even Cesarean section, you're out?
Have all of you forgotten the "Birther" buisness? You shouldn't have, given the effort that Donald Trump keeps making to keep it alive.
There's no conceivable way that any candidate would make any real progress without having his entire life being pored through under a microscope by either the media or the PACS supporting rival candidates. Any candidate for President who can't be bothered to read the Constitution which states the requirements for POTUS, deserves whatever ridicule and scorn that can be gathered to heap on him or her.

Maybe he (Jango Dingo) could have a fast-grown clone (Boba Dingo) of himself grown and decanted here on American soil? You'll have to demonstrate better marksmanship skills that traditional Stormtroopers, however, or you'll never get the important NRA endorsement.
There is also the age requirement -- so you have a minimum of 35 years to wait after your clone is born.

Of course, there is a process for amending the Constitution -- so with enough support you could get rid of those pesky requirements for the presidency.

Nah, we'll just stick him on board the U.S.S. McConaughey and let it orbit in a flat circle around a singularity until he's relatively old enough.

If you can put him in orbit around a singularity, then you most likely have the firepower to make yourself dictator of the entire planet (with the threat of obliterating any nation that does not surrender to you).

'Presidential candidates seeking ballot access in more than one state must satisfy the ballot access requirements set forth by each state; there is no "single-form" registration.'
Thats just stupid...
It's just a method of weeding out the lazy and inept.
Of course it doesn't work, as most presidential candidates have subordinates to be competent for them, but it does stop EVERYONE from signing up.
