"Citizens cannot be blocked from a political position based on religion."
Explanation: Article VI of the Constitution forbids imposing any religious test as a qualification for federal office. That means you cannot be required to belong to, or believe in, a particular religion (or any religion) to hold public office. It does not create a right to practice any religion (that comes from the First Amendment), nor does it require a religious background or a literal "exam."
