It is difficult enough for a serious genetic researcher such as myself to get grant money without folks like yourself who, locked away in various remote cabins, have missed scientific developments and thus tend to dismiss them out of hand..
I am back in Maine. Having been promised Global Warming by Susie and Olympia, I intend to collect. Don't miss Memorial Day in Livermore Falls. Tickets are only $100 and it is for that worthiest of causes:
Hey...speaking of Dauphin's, did you know (I know yooouuuu doooo):
If simply being born in the U.S. (born a citizen) is enough to be considered a "natural born Citizen" (which of course, the framers rejected during the convention), then the current Dauphin of France, Prince Louis Duke of Burgundy would be considered POTUS eligible.
Prince Louis was born in New York City, 2010. Yet, his father is a French and Spanish citizen (but not a U.S. citizen) and his mother is Venezuelan.
If the French decided to have another restoration of the House of Burbon, the King of France would be considered POTUS eligible.
Or, if Louis Alphonse were to be elected POTUS 1st...and then the French decided it would be cool to restore the crown...wow!
Imagine that. The King of France and the President of the U.S. as one in the same.
Wouldn't that be something! I'm sure something like that would never happen. Especially if academia, hollywood and the state run media convinced the low information voters that electing the dauphin would be a swell idea. and hey...don't worry, he was born here everything is great. Certainly no conflict of interest there when it came to treaties and (heaven forbid) war. No, no conflict there.

Oh...and I almost forgot to say, the current reigning King of Thailand would also be considered Constitutionally eligible to be our Commander in Chief of the military according to those here who would have us believe that the framers really didn't reject Hamiliton's suggestion of simply "born a citizen" be part of the requirement.
