We frequently suspend the bylaws to allow all sorts of people to initiate, pledge, participate, take EC positions, etc. However, we require a near perfect vote and we have some pretty impassioned speeches beforehand. I am sure if somebody was running for Prez, and their opponent didn't meet the criteria, they'd raise a big stink about it, especially since they'd put in the legwork and done the right things.
Sounds unusual to me.
