==Controversy==
When Manley was interviewed by a journalist from the Westside Gazette, he answered that he was running for young people. He believes that young people aren't properly represented in government and politics. His candidacy, is a direct challenge to Article 2 of the United States Constitution, which states "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Constitution of the United States, Article 2, Section 1 )〕 Manley states that not only is this provision discriminatory, but in order for it to be an effective tool to disqualify him from candidacy, he must be challenged in court. This was upheld by his attorneys, and certified by the Florida State Constitution. According to Manley at a speech in his hometown of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, he wants the United States Supreme Court to change or remove the age restriction from the Constitution or lower the age to eighteen from thirty-five. He states as follows:
"I'm running because I want other young people to know that you can accomplish your dreams without age being a barrier. Rather it's becoming a doctor, lawyer, athlete, star, or President of the United States, you can do it."〔
