Why not? Why does having a man like Osama Bin Laden for a father automatically mean the kid won’t turn out to be a fine American? What about the mom - you seem to be discounting her role in raising the kid.

The moms role? Drag him to Indonesia for several years, then park him at home with his Grandparents to raise him. (After they adopted him for obvious legal reasons.) Yeah, she did a bang up Job raising barry.

What’s wrong with judging each man or women individually solely on their character and actions? We don’t have to lay the sins of the parents on their children.

It is not about the sins of the parents, it is about compliance with what the law says. It says you have to be 35 years old. 34 won't do, despite the character and actions. it says you must have lived in this nation for 14 years. 13.5 is not enough, despite your character and actions. It also says you must be a "natural born citizen." Being born as both an English citizen and an American citizen at the same time is NOT a natural born citizen, and therefore you do not fit the explicit requirements of the law. No amount of Character or Actions will change the fact that someone doesn't fit the requirements.

Leave it to the judgement of the American people.

Yes, that worked out well this last time around.

It is my own personal opinion that anyone who has ever voted for a Democrat for President ought to be excluded from voting because they are either incurably insane, or irrationally stupid.

I would settle for non-government-paid taxpayers. That would take out a HUGE swath of their voters.

The law of the land is that being born on US soil = NBC.

I know you disagree vehemently but WKA made it so and Ankeny confirmed it. And that is how it will play out through November.

Are you seriously suggesting that the military and law enforcement not be allowed to vote? They are “government-paid” you know.

Personally, I’d be content if only people with a perfect score on the SAT were allowed to vote.
