I think the process described for the failure of the person chosen by the electors to qualify is a little better than opinion.

Well, I believe that electors are supposed to pick persons who possess the constitutional qualifications. To me that is patently obvious. But, I have no objection to other people believing that electors shouldn't restrict themselves to choosing persons who possess the constitutional qualifications. I really don't think that there are enough of those people to ever make a difference.

Our system has worked for more than 50+ presidential elections. It works because the vast majority of people try to do the right thing.

I believe that a person who is a citizen at birth is a natural born citizen. I recognize that some folks prefer a more complicated formulation. I recognize that usually they do so because they oppose a particular candidate for other reasons. I understand that and I can live with it. There are not enough of those people to make a difference.

There is really nothing to get excited about. Our system works well.
