I don't follow your logic there at all. Obama was just such a person; raised in a foreign country. Regardless of his parentage or citizenship he didn't belong in the White House.

I think you do understand my logic.

We voters decide who we want as President, and just because someone's mother may have been a foreign citizen that's way, way down the list of things we consider when choosing our leader.

"I think you do understand my logic."

I didn't say I didn't understand it. I said I didn't follow it. Just as with the age requirement for President, there will be plenty of people older than 35 who are totally unfit. That does not negate the value of the age requirement.

Out of curiousity, are you aware of anyone researching the parentage of all of our 45 Presidents? It's not something I care to undertake, but it would certainly be curious if Obama was the first President ever to have a parent who wasn't a citizen. Perhaps this has happened many times in the past.

It seems to me that would be an argument in favor of excluding only "naturalized citizens".
