Well, DUH. Good grief... this is remedial. Why do you think that they grandfathered in the founders and original citizens created at the time the constitution was ratified?? Maybe because there would not be a Natural Born Citizen until 1811 or so? Maybe?? You think?? 35 years of age and all that?

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." Its not like they didn't think of that! Sheesh...

And yet your logic says otherwise. The problem is not mine.
