Without an official endorsement from a Congressional Representative, U.S. Senator, or senior executive official from the White House or Pentagon, attendance in a service academy is a non-starter anyway.
If the candidate is serious about it at all, the above isn't much of a problem.

Nowadays the Academies run the admissions process and the Senators and Reps go along with their recommendations pretty much down the line. It wasn't always so. Al Capone's attorney got a Naval Academy appointment for his son in exchange for turning state's evidence. It got the old man whacked, but Butch O'Hare went on to receive a Medal of Honor at the Battle of the Coral Sea and had an airport named after him. LINK
