HOA's ARE NOT GOVERNMENT - THEY ARE PRIVATE!
HOA's can not violate Federal, State or Local Laws.
Absent anything in Federal, State, or Local laws, that says otherwise, the governing documents of the HOA rules.
If you don't like the governing documents, Change Them! When you bought the property you agreed to abide by those governing documents, so you knew what you were agreeing to when you purchased. You knew what the rules were for running for office, and you agreed to abide by that rule. If a property owner did not read or understand the documents, tough!
