can hold office (federal, state, local), that on its face would violate the "Religious Test" Clause 3 of Article IV in the Federal Constitution. (Clause 3 Oaths of Office: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.)

And that's how The Constitution will be nullified, one clause at a time.
