"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."
I read this as the President must be natural born OR a Citizen of the U.S. Not *AND*. I also don't see anywhere where it says that the person who is a Citizen at time of adoption of the Constitution can't also be a Citizen 200 years later and therefore eligible.
Therefore "natural born" is not exclusive of being a Citizen, which Ted Cruz certainly is. Therefore Ted Cruz is eligible. NOT an issue.
That is all.
They placed that part in there so that we wouldn’t have to wait 35 years for someone to become eligible. Man.....
