1st post:(keep in mind jaxright is a newbee as stated)
I was looking for a video that I ran across recently from the 2004 Keyes/Obama Senate race debates where Keyes stated :"You are not even a Natural born citizen" to which Barack Obama replied: "That's OK, I am not running for president, I am only running for Senate."
Has anyone else seen this? I can't seem to find it again.

As much as I’d welcome the cited exchange from the story I think, we are led to believe this happened during something like a commercial or a camera break. It may have but we need something more than at least the story I have heard that it seems like it was said off-camera. If there are other witnesses, those would work well. You’d think for a debate between Senate candidates, a recording would be running the whole time.
In line for President, where does the Senate Majority leader stand in line?
That would be wild if he was ineligible in a circumstance and it had to go to say the Minority Senate leader.
I’m not wising to see that though. Not in my lifetime.
That is correct. Only the President and Vice President, need be natural born citizens. Senators must be citizens, but naturalized is ok. But they must have been a citizen for at least 9 years upon election, and they must be at least 30 years old upon election. For Representatives its 25 years old and 7 years a citizen. Both must be inhabitents of the state from which they are chosen.
People have been known to catch, or shoot, wild geese. Never shot one myself, only ducks, pheasant and quail. (Plus bunny and tree rat).
